<title>Building XFree86</title>
<para>XFree86 is an important component for many desktop users.
The easiest way to build XFree86 is to use the
<filename>src/release/scripts/X11/build_x.sh</filename> script.
This script requires that XFree86 and Tcl/Tk already be
installed on the build host. After compiling the necessary X
servers, the script will package all of the files into tarballs
that sysinstall expects to find in the
<filename>XF86336</filename> directory of the installation
media.</para>
<note><para>It is important to remove any site-specific settings
from <filename>/etc/make.conf</filename>. For example, it would
be unwise to distribute binaries that were built on a system
with <varname>CPUTYPE</varname> set to a specific
processor.</para></note>
