Can you change it back to 1.11.x and provide that build log, so I can compare?

How can I make port to build an old version? I'd really like to do that, so that I could update the old xorg-server 1.7.1_901_0 which cannot launch because libopenssl and libcrypt were updated.

I'll try to understand the documentation and see whether I can get successful...

r91368, -devel will get the fix once it's in master.

This has apparently been a bug for about a year, so it doesn't look like many people are using this on Tiger any more...

Does this mean that I can stop trying to build old xorg-server? (I had waited until doxygen was built with MacPorts' flex and around local midnight I seemed to have the proper sym-link "files" together with Portfile.)

It had not been possible until 3 days ago to build xorg-server on PowerPC Tiger because mesa had been broken on PowerPC Tiger for quite awhile. I have not tested on Intel. Hopefully most Intel users have upgraded to at least Snow Leopard since all Intel Macs support it and there's little reason not to do so, but there are definitely PowerPC Macs that do not support Leopard.

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

Well I have a few pieces of extra hardware at the moment, so I'm trying to look into some Tiger/Leopard bugs.

xorg-server built fine for me i386, but I haven't tested it.

Yes, this has prevented me to update xorg-server or xorg-server-devel on PPC Tiger. This week I started to update the Leopard and Tiger software for my PPC hardware ans thought of asking Jeremy how to deactivate the recent MESA version in MacPorts and how to switch to the old working version in order to be able to compile the X server. But then MESA built again...

The software compiles and installs on PPC Tiger, Mac OS X 10.4.11 – but it does not launch! Maybe it's a problem with xauth:

Replying to jeremyhu@…:

X11.app is insecure, which is why it may be launching...

Please open a separate issue for the bug you're seeing.

There is also some chance that the syntax used in startx is incorrect – this works:

	xauth list hier.do.main/unix:0

So it could be that just updates to the script are needed – which I can't test right now because the X11 variant of GNU Emacs is compiling...

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

The documentation (man xauth) tells:

DISPLAY NAMES

Display names for the add, [n]extract, [n]list, [n]merge, and remove commands use the same format as the DISPLAY environment variable and the common -display command line argument. Display-specific informa- tion (such as the screen number) is unnecessary and will be ignored. Same-machine connections (such as local-host sockets, shared memory, and the Internet Protocol hostname localhost) are referred to as host- name/unix:displaynumber so that local entries for different machines may be stored in one authority file.

So the startx script is indeed incorrect. It needs to be patched:

Peter, please open a new ticket for your issue.

The changes you made are not correct.

I believe the issue is that your hostname is not resolving.
