Fedora xen - Nov 2006 - FC6 and xen-3.0.3 -- Is xen missing rfb directory ?

I am trying to build Xen in FC6. when I did "make world pae=y",

 

It gives me an error in xenfb.c in tools/xenfb/ directoty that file
rfb/rfb.h is not available in tools/xenfb/ directory. This is true.

 

I commented it out in xenfb.c. I am trying to rebuild the Xen sources

 

Is this known issue ?

We don''t typically use ''make world'' in Fedora Xen
builds because that
builds the ancient 2.6.16 kernels from upstream Xen. Instead the Xen
kernels for Fedora are based on the current 2.6.18 tree and the source
for these is distributed in the kernel src.rpm. The ''xen'' RP
is only
used for building userspace - we better to just to ''make
tools'' instead
of ''make world''.

You need to build libvncserver first, eg in the RPM spec we do:

 # pushd LibVNCServer-0.8.2
 # ./configure
 # make -C libvncserver
 # vncdir=`pwd`
 # popd
 # sed -i -e "s;libvncserver-config;${vncdir}/libvncserver-config;"
tools/xenfb/Makefile

Before going in to building any of the Xen bits
