## 3.3. make World

Read Building XFree86 before trying to rebuild XFree86 from the source distribution.

Before you start compilation you must edit `xc/config/cf/lynx.cf` to match your operating system version (defaults set up for 2.5.0). Change the definitions of OSMajorVersion, OSMinorVersion and OSTeenyVersion accordingly.

You may now issue a

> `

>          make World

> `

to compile XFree86. After a few hours (and hopefully a successful build of the XFree86 system) you can install the software using

> `

>          make install

> `

You must be logged in as super-user (root) when you invoke `make install'. Be sure to set your environment to use the same compiler (LynxOS 2.3.0/2.4.0, CYGNUS GNU-C) as you did during the `make World'. To install the LinkKit use

> `

>          make install.linkkit

> `

With LynxOS 2.2.1 programs will not be stripped during installation. This is due to a problem with the strip program which shows up when installing across file system boundaries.

Refer to section Installing XFree86 manual pages for manual page installation.

On LynxOS AT 2.5.0 you may encounter problems with `make` in deeply nested subdirectories (eg core dumps, hangups). In this case update to GNU make version 3.75 or higher.
