Hi

I try to install mrxvt from source code into cygwin. When I ./configure, I have the following errors in the config.log.

.....
configure:4692: result: no
configure:4707: error: Mrxvt requires the X Window System libraries and headers.

I also add this environment variables.
export CYGWIN_LIBX11=/usr/X11R6/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib
:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

But it still doesn't work. What's the problem?


Perhaps you didn't install the xorg-x11-devel package? Kind of hard to tell
without the information requested in the problem reporting guidelines:

Hm, interesting.  Perhaps you need to look around at the config.log a little
more to look for other clues.  I tried downloading the source for mrxvt and
building it after installing the same X packages/versions as you have.  I
had no problem.  One difference I do see is that I didn't start with a
configure script so I had to generate it via 'bootstrap.sh', as recommended
in the INSTALL file that came with the mrxvt source.  To do that though, I
needed to install automake, autoconf, and libtool (I installed all versions,
just for kicks ;-) ).  If the configure file you have was not generated on
your machine though, this could explain why you're seeing the problems you're
seeing.
