I am afraid there are not many people here that can help you with this.
Most people, just like me, who have run into these problems before, just give up on compiling X from source and simply use the pre-compiled X packages.
But if you enjoy this compiling from source thing, feel free to continue with it, but please don't be disappointed if nobody can help you with this
When I have to compile a port, I log the whole make session with
script(1)
Code:
# script /home/j65nko/mailman-port.log
Script started, output file is /home/j65nko/mailman-port.log
# make
All output, and all things you type will now be recorded by
script in the
mailman-port.log file.
To stop this recording or logging just type
exit
Code:
# exit
Script done, output file is /home/j65nko/mailman-port.log
You can choose a filename of your liking, script(1) does not care.
You can easily read the log with
Code:
$ less mailman-port.log
If you want to get rid of the recorded typo's and backspaces use
Code:
$ col -b <mailman-port.log >mailman-port.log.clean
