Next Xorg build issue: cannot find xkbdfile

[Christian MICHON]

couple of hours is usual when getting a first try at X...
Do not give up :)

normally xfree configures and keep all relevant paths inside
".cf" files. I would assume xorg would do the same...

I still can't figure out what you're doing. Are you trying to compile
buildroot and xorg at the same time ? If so, I would suggest you
compile buildroot first, chroot inside it, and compile xorg from
within buildroot.

Alternatively, change -L/usr/X11R6/lib to the proper path containing
newly made x11 libs (find them inside the xorg build dir)...
In your case, -Lbuildroot/build_i686/xc/lib/

I remind you again this should be in the cf file you must have
created before "make world"
