RE: Build of XFree86 from CVS - why Xserver is not built

["Suhaib M. Siddiqi" <ssiddiqi at inspirepharm dot com>]

all the Windows users are reporting that Imake skips the xwin directory
and fails to compile the Xserver for Windows.  One of the contributor for
Cygwin/XFree project reported the following findings.  This is against the
current CVS tree from xfree86.org

PS: I forwarded your message to xfree86 developers list.

Why not ust edit the Imakefile and remove the xvinfo realted stuff.  That
should
fix the problems.
