OFFICIAL X11 PORT The X11 iso image predates the fossil filesystem and unfortunately has some hard coded references to the kfs filesystem in its installation package; however once installed it is filesystem independant. The following will allow this package to be installed on a fossil filesystem. download the iso and uncompress it. ! hget http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/extra/X11.iso.bz2 | bunzip2 > /tmp/X11.iso start the iso9660 filesystem server ! 9660srv disable the 9fs command by binding echo over it ! bind /386/bin/echo /rc/bin/9fs mount a pseudo /n/kfs pointing to the root of your fossil filesystem ! mount /srv/boot /n/kfs mount the iso ! mount /srv/9660 /n/dist /tmp/X11.iso initialise the replica logs ! /n/dist/X11.setup do the pull ! replica/pull /n/dist/X11 Next, you need to actually build X11. Close this rio window and open a new one. This will remove the bind on /rc/bin/9fs. There is a problem with one file that prevents X11 from building with current systems. Type ! 9fs sources ! cp /n/sources/contrib/pietro/shape.c /sys/src/X11/programs/Xserver/Xext/shape.c to fix the bug. NOTE: If you get this error when buidling X11: ! /sys/include/ape/u.h:4[stdin:7038] not a function ! /sys/include/ape/u.h:4[stdin:7038] syntax error, last name: header it is due to the fact that the preprocessor constant _PLAN9_SOURCE is not defined. The easiest way is to: ! cp /sys/include/ape/u.h /tmp/u.h modify /tmp/u.h as follows: ! #ifndef __U_H ! #define __U_H ! #ifndef _PLAN9_SOURCE ! + #ifndef BRAZIL ! This header file is an extension to ANSI/POSIX ! + #endif ! #endif and bind the modified version over the original: ! bind /tmp/u.h /sys/include/ape/u.h and restart the build. Finally, to build and install, type ! cd /sys/src/X11 ! ape/psh ! makew ! make install ! make clean It is a good idea to turn on scrolling for both rio windows so you could do something else while building (makew is a lengthy process). EQUIS Equis is an X11 server for Plan 9 created by Federico G. Benavento (fgb). It may be installed using the contrib system: ! contrib/install fgb/X11 or by copying the necessary files directly from his [contrib directory | http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/contrib/fgb/]: ! mkdir /386/bin/X11 /386/lib/ape/X11 ! 9fs sources ! dircp /n/sources/contrib/fgb/root/386/bin/X11 /386/bin/X11 ! dircp /n/sources/contrib/fgb/root/386/lib/ape/X11 /386/lib/ape/X11
