Yeah, I should have noticed this in config.log: configure:22092: checking for XineramaQueryVersion in -lXinerama configure:22127: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -DUSING_AUTOCONF=1 conftest.c -lXinerama -lXext -lX11 >&5 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXext I reordered some of the checks in configure.ac so that: - There's a separate check for libXext. - The libXrender and libXrandr checks are split up. - X_PRE_LIBS and X_EXTRA_LIBS (from AC_PATH_XTRA) are taken into account. They're probably useless for most modern Linux systems, but make the checks more complete. I'll commit the patch to git. > configure no succeeds, but I'm getting lots of garbage like, > > cd . && /bin/sh /home/nathan/code/open-vm-tools/missing --run > automake-1.10 --gnu > lib/SLPv2Parser/Makefile.am:18: library used but `RANLIB' is undefined > lib/SLPv2Parser/Makefile.am:18: The usual way to define `RANLIB' is > to add `AC_PROG_RANLIB' > lib/SLPv2Parser/Makefile.am:18: to `configure.ac' and run > `autoconf' again. That's strange. We shouldn't need to call AC_PROG_RANLIB because it's not our logic that specifically needs it, it's libtool. And AC_PROG_LIBTOOL will (looking at libtool.m4) call AC_PROG_RANLIB. If you run autoreconf, does the problem go away? Autoreconf should trace through all of configure.ac and understand that AC_PROG_LIBTOOL will provide AC_PROG_RANLIB. If not, please file a bug report so we can track the problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ open-vm-tools-devel mailing list open-vm-tools-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/open-vm-tools-devel
