libxcb

Any reason why there is a $datadir variable used?
There is no explanation to what it should be set to.
If there is not objections, I'll change it to
/usr/share, or should it be $XORG_PREFIX/share?
Wayne.

By single quoting the $datadir, it will follow whatever setting
datadir takes. Sort of like the default mandir is '${datadir}/man'.
It's handled this way because of the unknown settings in $XORG_CONFIG.
It will work no matter if I have --datadir=/foo/bar in $XORG_CONFIG.
You can probably change it and it wouldn't affect anyone, but that's
the reason.

It just means that make will resolve them instead of your shell.

Boost

I didn't see a track ticket for Boost.  I could open one and attach a
patch, but only if anyone is interested in adding it.

Works for me boost_1_43_0:
{{{
./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/usr
./bjam
./bjam install

# install the new bjam
install -v bjam /usr/bin

# install the html docs
bdocdir="/usr/share/doc/boost-1.43.0"
for dir in `find doc/html -type d`
do
   subdir=`echo "${dir}" | sed -e 's|doc/||'`
   install -v -m755 -d ${bdocdir}/${subdir}
   install -v -m644 ${dir}/* ${bdocdir}/${subdir}
done
}}}

 Unless I'm missing something, you appear to not install
the libraries and headers ?

 I'm in the happy position of no longer needing boost -

 Sorry, I managed to misread it as 'install bjam'

 Well, that's your call.  I'm not offering to put this in because
I'm not touching the 6.5 book (I don't have any 6.5 systems,

faac-1.28

The faac-1.28 page says that it installs libmp4v2.so. I couldn't get it
to install libmp4v2.so (I needed it for easytag - I had some m4a files
with broken metadata) so I downloaded mp4v2
http://code.google.com/p/mp4v2/ and used that (easytag still needed some
hacking but I got there in the end). Then I turned my attention to faac.
To get it to use the external libmp4v2 I had to:

sed -i '/xternal /aMY_DEFINE(HAVE_LIBMP4V2)\
LIBS="-lmp4v2 $LIBS"' configure.in &&
./bootstrap &&
sed -i 's:mp4\.h:mp4v2/mp4v2.h:' {configure,frontend/main.c}

Then it was just: ./configure --prefix=/usr; make; make install

The glibc patch is only needed if you use the libmp4v2 included in the
faac source. I find this sed is easier than a patch:

sed -i 's/strcasestr/str_casestr/' common/mp4v2/mpeg4ip{,_win32}.h

Nusience

The LinkedIn is starting to become an issue, on April 15 someone sent
a LinkedIn invatition on lfs-dev, and now today someone else sent one
right here on blfs-support. Does anyone or Bruce agree to get this
banned on the mailing lists so this would not even become a issue?
Also to end this mail post, I cross posted this on the offical LFS
lists so everyone is aware of the issues with these invatitions thats
only for people that they know, not mailing lists
