What Do You Do?...
... when the script that you need to run in order to merge your existing codebases for X.org is buggy and won't run? You call it a day and head to bed.
I've made progress with X.org over the past few days- but this new codebase setup they have for X.org 7 is very confusing and the documentation is a little... well, it sucks.
I figure I need to download the code for versions 7.0, 7.1, and 7.2 and then use a script to merge them into a single build directory before I can let the fireworks begin (I'm told that compiling X.org can take upwards ot 6-8 hours). But the script that performs the merge doesn't work! Instead it pukes on my terminal with this error:
ERROR: Unbound variable: {{{
AAAAACK! Why can't any of this shit be goddamn easy!? Oh well- I'm up for the challenge. Either the script is, indeed, buggy, or my installation of the program that runs the script, 'guile', is not properly installed- which means more tinkering and perhaps a recompile of 'guile' itself. Sheesh.
Thank God tomorrow is the beginning of the long weekend.
