Hi, Aaron, thanks, that's definitely useful information, and I will be
incorporating your patch, but I don't think it addresses the immediate
problem (although I'm willing to be proved wrong).
AC_PATH_X
if test "x$no_x" = "xyes"; then
AC_MSG_ERROR([WMRack needs X Windows!!!])
else
CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -I${x_includes}"
LIBS="$LIBS -L${x_libraries} -lX11"
fi
The 'test "x$no_x" = "xyes"' is returning true, so it's not even
getting to the CFLAGS part. So I think I still need more help.
Looking though the configure file, it seems that the initial header
file test is for Xos.h, but if that fails (and it might if x_includes
is ending up empty), the backup test is for Intrinsic.h. The autoconf
documentation suggests that the search for Xos.h may have been a
bug-fix, in which case, the backup test may have been overlooked,
making this a bug in autoconf, with a simple (for now) workaround of
adding a build-dependency on libxt-dev. But I'd like to confirm this
reasoning. If I'm right, this may affect a lot of packages...
Still not subscribed to debian-x, please CC further replies.
