2002/02/08 XFree86-4.2.0 and ROOT-3.03.00 CVS 20020207 on MacOS X Release

I have updated my X11 environment to XFree86 v.4.2.0, which now officially supports rootless mode on MacOS X. It is also worth mentioning that it comes with a GUI installer. ROOT v.3.03 development series had just started, which broke the MacOS X support. I have sent my patch to .the ROOT team. The pach is now in CVS. so ROOT from the CVS source tree now compiles arn runs just out of the box. The binary tarball is available: root_v3.03.00-cvs020207-macosx.tar.gz which passed all the standard ROOT test suite.

As for the RPMs I have built for MacOS X Release, the following directories might be useful:

SPECS

SOURCES

SRPMS

RPMS

where you can find spec files, my private patches, source RPMs, and binary RPMs, respectively. Note that the RPMS directory contains two subdirectories, "ppc" for architecture-dependent binariy packages, while "noarch" for those architecture-independent. For those packages without real source RPMs or those provided only as tar balls, you can find the corresponding original source packages and my private patches in src. The binary tar balls are in tgz.

These packages have been tested on my machines (G3 Series PowerBook, aka Wallstreet and Ti PowerBook G4) but might not work on your platform. Install them thus at your own risk.

Notice also that new packages are under ~fujiik/macosx/10.1.X/, while the old ones built on Public Beta are directly under ~fujiik/macosx/ and will not be supported.
