X11 installation

Aglenda
#
#OFFICIAL X11 PORT
#
#The X11 iso image predates the fossil filesystem and unfortunately
#has some hard coded references to the kfs filesystem in its
#installation package; however once installed it is filesystem
#independant. The following will allow this package to be installed
#on a fossil filesystem.
#
#download the iso and uncompress it.
#! 	hget http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/extra/X11.iso.bz2 | bunzip2 > /tmp/X11.iso
#
#start the iso9660 filesystem server
#!        9660srv 
#
#disable the 9fs command by binding echo over it
#!        bind /386/bin/echo /rc/bin/9fs
#
#mount a pseudo /n/kfs pointing to the root of your fossil filesystem
#!        mount /srv/boot /n/kfs
#
#mount the iso
#! 	mount /srv/9660 /n/dist /tmp/X11.iso
#
#initialise the replica logs
#!        /n/dist/X11.setup
#
#do the pull
#!        replica/pull /n/dist/X11
#
#Next, you need to actually build X11. Close this rio window and open
#a new one. This will remove the bind on /rc/bin/9fs.
#
#There is a problem with one file that prevents X11 from building
#with current systems. Type
#!        9fs sources
#!        cp /n/sources/contrib/pietro/shape.c /sys/src/X11/programs/Xserver/Xext/shape.c 
#to fix the bug.
#
#NOTE: If you get this error when buidling X11:
#!        /sys/include/ape/u.h:4[stdin:7038] not a function
#!        /sys/include/ape/u.h:4[stdin:7038] syntax error, last name: header
#it is due to the fact that the preprocessor constant _PLAN9_SOURCE
#is not defined. The easiest way is to:
#!       cp /sys/include/ape/u.h /tmp/u.h
#modify /tmp/u.h as follows:
#!  #ifndef __U_H
#!  #define __U_H
#!  #ifndef _PLAN9_SOURCE
#! + #ifndef	BRAZIL
#!     This header file is an extension to ANSI/POSIX
#! + #endif
#!  #endif
#and bind the modified version over the original:
#!        bind /tmp/u.h /sys/include/ape/u.h
#and restart the build.
#
#Finally, to build and install, type
#!        cd /sys/src/X11
#!        ape/psh
#!        makew
#!        make install
#!        make clean
#
#It is a good idea to turn on scrolling for both rio windows so you
#could do something else while building (makew is a lengthy process).
#
#EQUIS
#
#Equis is an X11 server for Plan 9 created by Federico G. Benavento
#(fgb). It may be installed using the contrib system:
#
#! 	contrib/install fgb/X11
#
#or by copying the necessary files directly from his [contrib
#directory | http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/contrib/fgb/]:
#
#! 	mkdir /386/bin/X11 /386/lib/ape/X11
#! 	9fs sources
#! 	dircp /n/sources/contrib/fgb/root/386/bin/X11 /386/bin/X11
#! 	dircp /n/sources/contrib/fgb/root/386/lib/ape/X11 /386/lib/ape/X11
