x11 newb

Desreguard

Hey all, this is my first time installing/compiling x11. I tried compiling it from the ports tree, it tried to compile but got Stop errors after a while. Can anybody point me in the direction of how to solve this. Never installed x11 before, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Code: 
Stop in /usr/ports/textproc/libxslt
***Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/x11/libxcb

stop in /usr/ports/graphics/imlib2

stop in /usr/ports/x11/3ddesktop


Im assuming that these are some libraries that it has trouble with, but i just dont know the next step plz help.
 
Please post the full error, not just the last bit. Error code 1 is just a generic error.
 
No, the real error is further back. The error code 1 is just the result of that.
 
ok think this is it.

This is the origin of the error.

Did you add compiler flags to /etc/make.conf?
 
What changes have you made to system config files like /etc/rc.conf and /boot/loader.conf? This could be caused by things like changing the default securelevel.
 
Ok i solved the problem, i was just trying to install the wrong thing. I finally got Xorg installed and working, now im trying to install Xfce4 as my window manager, but during the compiling process i hit some more errors. How to I start the Xfce4 compilation from the very beginning? When i try to install it again it just goes straight to those errors, I think one of the options i enabled are the culprit, just need to know to start this again.
 
# cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/xfce4
# make clean

That will clear out the failed build. Note that any dependencies it installed are already done, so it'll get to the part that failed pretty quickly.
 
ok well that didnt really work, Im still gettin errors for

Code: 
 py26-numpy-1.5.1.1 atlas needs to be built with WITH_STATCLIB for numpy to function properly

Is there any way to COMPLETELY start the process over without the dependencies? I tried
Code: 
make deinstall
but that didnt work cuz it wasnt installed yet, are there any other options?
 
ports(7)

You're using an old ports tree, py27 is the default now. But to remove all the options settings,
# cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/xfce4
# make rmconfig-recursive

Then start building it again. Accepting the default options is safest.
