Xen users - Aug 2007 - Dependency question

Hello this is my first Xen install and I need some help please.
    I want to do a install of Dom0 and domU text only without X so as to 
keep the size to a minimum.  When I did the ''make world''
command it
proceeded to build then ended on a error saying it failed on x11 headers 
and xgettext.  The dependencies for Xen do not list these so I haven''t 
built them and really would prefer not to.  I have looked in the 
Makefile to see if there is a way to disable this but I can''t find it.
Please let me know what I need to do.


Thanks
Shane

If you just install the X headers (the xlib-dev package, I guess) then that 
would do: you don''t have to have (or use) a working X11.

This stuff is for building the various virtual framebuffer devices (which, I 
guess, you still might want to access over SSH even if you''re not
running it
on a local X server).

Alternatively, it might be possible to disable building the paravirt 
framebuffer and the HVM device models (but then you won''t be able to
use HVM)
which (IIRC) are the things which use the X headers.

I''d say the path of least resistance is to just install X headers and
then
either use X-over-SSH forwarding, or use VNC to access guest framebuffers.  
This way it''ll build smoothly but you don''t have to configure
a local X11.

Cheers,
Mark

Hi, Shane,

	From my opinion was the fastest way to get Xen working to simply
install the binary tarball - for me it worked on 3 completely different HW
configurations (otebook/server/desktop) - so maybe ou can spare some time if
You will do it so to get faster and smoother start...

	But of course if You need from some reason to recompile it then this
is no help for You :-)

	With regards

		Archie
