OK, all is done via pkg-config, then. > On cygwin, Qt can be built either using X11 as a graphics backend or > without it.

My point is that we should not need this information outside of the frontend. I _think_ that the two other patches I posted fix your problems with X_MISSING_DISPLAY. > However, I still don't understand what is the problem that your patch > addresses. Currently, when the right Qt configuration flags are found using pkg-config, configure runs AC_PATH_XTRA nevertheless to configure X. This part is (1) useless and (2) source of problems since on has to specify --without-x to avoid it. What triggered this change is that I wanted to avoid the need for ---without-x in the INSTALL.MacOSX guidelines. It is just a cleanup to make things work as they should, not a revolution of the build process. JMarc
