Thanks.  I actually read some more of the info, and noticed that the
./build.sh wasn't (yet) supported for amd64.  All I'd gathered before
was how to do it.  (sheepish grin)

Instead of using the .../src/x11 sources and ./build.sh, I used
.../xsrc and "make build", which works.

Yes, I can try them.


What's the best way to build/install *just* the .../src/x11 tree?
I don't really need to re-install the rest of -current, since that
is already in place.  (^&

I haven't found what I need in the BUILDING document.

Or is this selective build/install not yet supported?

Or is it enough to build the whole thing and just copy over the main
X binary manually?


Thanks for the patches.  (^&
