Re: Building wsfb driver for VAX



Hello,

thanks, the patch you send was very helpful.
what i forgot to tell you is that i'm using NetBSD-5.1-RC , so your
patch didn't apply cleanly, but i've merged the changes. i had to apply
similar patches to other Makefiles (diff file attached) and to define
XINPUT in xsrc/xfree/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/common/xf86Xinput.h
(there must be a better way...). The build proceeds now to xf86Globals.c
where it stops with the attached error. I think there are more changes
to do...
