It produces the location of the X libraries and headers so the build can find
them. Just because configure checks for something doesn't always mean that
it's
used.
On the system I've been working on lately, I have:
checking for X... libraries , headers (installed in /usr)
checking for Xt Revision Number 6... revision 6
checking whether libXp is available... no
checking whether to link -lXp... no
checking for Motif... no
checking whether libXt was compiled with -DXTHREADS... yes
checking X11/extensions/Xrender.h usability... no
checking X11/extensions/Xrender.h presence... no
checking for X11/extensions/Xrender.h... no
$ locate Xrender.h
/usr/include/X11/extensions/Xrender.h
Looking at configure, it has:
yes)
XRENDER_CFLAGS="-I$x_includes"
XRENDER_LIBS="-L$x_libraries -lXft -lXrender"
saved_LIBS="$LIBS"
LIBS="$LIBS $XRENDER_LIBS"
saved_CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS"
CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS $XRENDER_CFLAGS"
Now since I installed in /usr XRENDER_CFLAGS expands to "-I" which gcc flags as
an error.
If I change the lines above to:
XRENDER_CFLAGS=""
XRENDER_LIBS="-lXft -lXrender"
I now get:
checking X11/extensions/Xrender.h usability... yes
checking X11/extensions/Xrender.h presence... yes
checking for X11/extensions/Xrender.h... yes
checking for XRenderParseColor... yes
Another thing that works is:
./configure --x-includes=/usr/include --x-libraries=/lib
Now I get:
checking for X... libraries /usr/lib, headers /usr/include
checking X11/extensions/Xrender.h usability... yes
checking X11/extensions/Xrender.h presence... yes
checking for X11/extensions/Xrender.h... yes
checking for XRenderParseColor... yes
Hope this helps.
