to download the binaries these days. See

the lastest official information on installation of XFree86.

Later in this document, I describe only the very basic procedure

for compiling and installing from the source.

|
|
Utils contains the source for the "extract" program, which is a modified GNU tar with
|
|
gzip support. Extract is only important if you are installing a binary distribution
|
|
of XFree86 on top of your existing XFree86 to upgrade it. Extract unlinks old existing
|
|
files that are being extracted/updated instead of skipping them. Extract comes with the
|
|
binary distributions so utils.tgz is only important for making your own binary
|
|
distribution.

the OpenGL X interface functions.
|
|
Each window system has to provide the platform-specific interfaces
|
|
between OpenGL and the window system for mapping a GL rendering
|
|
context to a window system widget. Recent versions of XFree86, like
|
|
version 4.2.0, now also include libGLU and the OpenGL manual pages.
