(due to tkX) in the Python binding but the path to X11 is not in the
compile string. I'm not enough of an cmake guru to fix the problem,
but my guess is that a find_package(X11) might be needed if tkX is
enabled. Is that the correct solution?
We have a big and complex build system so I highly recommend using the
find command to help figure out these situations if you are not
using that already. For example, I used
find . -type f |grep -v .git |xargs grep -i tkx |less
to find all case-insensitive instances of tkx in our source tree, and
similarly for X11. That immediately revealed that
find_package(X11)
is already invoked in cmake/modules/plplot.cmake so the issue you
reported above appears to be due to not propagating those find_package
results properly to the python build which, of course, would be a
showstopper if X11 is installed in a non-standard location (as in your
case).
Investigation of that propagation chain shows that when X11_FOUND
is true, then
list(APPEND TK_INCLUDE_PATH ${X11_INCLUDE_DIR})
is executed in cmake/modules/tcl-related.cmake so the propagation
issue boils down to not using TK_INCLUDE_PATH in
bindings/python/CMakeLists.txt. I have now pushed a one-line fix for
that issue (commit 8e34637). Please let me know if you are able to
get further (or perhaps even have complete success) with that fix.
