[QUOTE="prushik, post: 859900, member: 105589"] Well I downloaded the current build and the dev snapshot of XFree86 and tried to build those, but they both failed. I really thought this would be easier... I have compiled X for linux before and I have cross-compiled the Xlib part of X for my armeb-xscale processor before. It compiled pretty easily. X has special config files for Darwin, but they just don't work, and from what I've read, XFree86 should just compile... Well I guess I will look into pkgsrc, I will definitely need some kind of package management software, I was looking into DarwinPorts and MacPorts, but they both need X to build and run. I'll look into it and tell you what I come up with, any more advise would be welcome. [/QUOTE]
