[Buildroot] x11r7 modules not installing

[Buildroot] x11r7 modules not installing

[Lane Brooks]

I am new to buildroot, but so far it is great.

I am trying to build x11r7, but modules do not seem to get installed 
correctly.  It seems the build script is calling 'make install-exec', 
which does not install the modules onto the target.  Am I doing 
something wrong?  Anyone know why my x11 modules are not getting installed?

Thanks,
Lane Brooks

Hi,

This is because X11 support is still experimental - you need to do manual work.
Patches are welcome.

I changed Makefile.autotools.in to call 'install' instead of 
'install-exec', and now the X11r7 modules are installing correctly (see 
patch).  I am not sure if this introduces other issues with other 
packages or what the differences between install-exec and install are. 
Can anyone explain it?

Lane
