Change the current directory to your X Window System development directory:
Username@CygwinHost ~ $ cd ~/xserver Username@CygwinHost ~/xserver $ meson _build --prefix=/usr [lots of output] Username@CygwinHost ~/xserver $ ninja -C _build [lots more output] |
The build is now complete.
Note: You may wish to consult the .cygport file for the current configuration flags used in distributed packages
Note: The unpacked source occupies approximately 30MB of disk space. Building the source requires approximately an additional 220MB. On my quad-core 3.4GHz i7-4770, a full build takes about 1 minute.
Follow these steps to run the built X server:
Change the current directory to your X Window System development directory:
Username@CygwinHost ~ $ cd xserver Username@CygwinHost ~/xserver $ |
Invoke the hw/xwin/Xwin executable:
Username@CygwinHost ~/xserver $ _build/hw/xwin/XWin |
The X server you have built will now attempt to run.
Installing a local build installs the built X server(s) and associated man pages.
Change the current directory to your X Window System development directory:
Username@CygwinHost ~ $ cd ~/xserver Username@CygwinHost ~/xserver $ |
Use the install target, which installs everything:
Username@CygwinHost ~/xserver $ ninja -C _build install |
