This is because imake thinks that libXaw needs libXp. So, while the XPLIB= workaround works, the proper solution should be related to xorg-cf-files. Debian has this patch, and it fixes more than just NAS, but all apps that use imake and link to libXaw: --- xorg-cf-files/linux.cf.orig +++ xorg-cf-files/linux.cf @@ -1153,6 +1153,16 @@ #define TtClientLibs $(TTLIB) $(XTOOLLIB) $(XLIB) #define TtClientDepLibs $(DEPTTLIB) $(DEPXTOOLLIB) $(DEPXLIB) +#ifndef ExtraXawClientLibs +# define ExtraXawClientLibs /**/ +#endif +#ifndef ExtraXawClientDepLibs +# define ExtraXawClientDepLibs /**/ +#endif +#ifndef ExtraXawReqs +# define ExtraXawReqs /**/ +#endif + #if HaveLib64 # ifndef LibDirName # define LibDirName lib64 OTOH, NAS is an ancient OSS-only sound server that requires special support from applications (i.e., no LD_PRELOAD wrapper). No such applications are in the book, except those that also support other sound servers. Esound and PulseAudio provide network-transparent sound playback, support ALSA, and come with LD_PRELOAD wrappers for OSS applications. PulseAudio even has a plugin for ALSA. Moreover, this application won't survive the addition of the x86-64 architecture to the book. Namely, it builds with warnings "Conversion of pointer to integer of different size" that mean instant segfault at runtime. So I don't understand why this package would be used nowadays by a sane person and why it is still in the book. If it is only there as an optional dependency of Qt3, then it should be removed from the book and marked as an unwanted Qt3 dependency instead. And, if nothing else in the book requires imake/xmkmf (Google search suggests that it is indeed the case), I'd drop it, too, together with xorg-cf-files. P.S. Debian has other patches to xorg-cf-files, and they should be investigated, too.
