I have one other question - unrelated. I see on the official XFree86
download site that pre-built binaries are available for up to (if I recall)
glibc-2.4 or 2.5, I forget which. I was thinking of installing glibc-2.7
on one system. Now I know how to make World I guess I can do that but was
wondering whether either one pre-built for an earlier glibc like 2.4 or 2.5
will run ok on a later glibc , or if not,
I don't know. You'd have to try it. The reason we generate binaries for different glibc versions is that there have been incompatibilities in the past. BTW, the host.def files used to generate binary distributions are in 'xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/etc/bisdist/'.
is XFree86 planning to build some at newer glibc levels?
Not to my knowledge. Speaking for myself, I don't have access to glibc 2.7 system that would allow me to generate binaries for it.
Mislim da nemas srece. Nepostoje gotove instalacije XFree86 za glibc 2.7. Cak neznam dali bi uspjelo kad bi ga kompajlirao iz source coda. Ovo bi bio kompleksan posao. Javim kad procesljam google jos malo.
