Ok, I do nothing, but I'm not sure that adding libx11-dev as a dependency is the best course of action here. See this other package (src:transgui) which I discovered later, note that this time the error is not "cannot find -lX11": (9015) Linking /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/units/transgui /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-ld.bfd: cannot find -lgdk-x11-2.0: No such file or directory /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-ld.bfd: cannot find -lgtk-x11-2.0: No such file or directory /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-ld.bfd: cannot find -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0: No such file or directory /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-ld.bfd: cannot find -lpango-1.0: No such file or directory /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-ld.bfd: cannot find -latk-1.0: No such file or directory /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/transgui.lpr(56,1) Error: (9013) Error while linking /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/transgui.lpr(56,1) Fatal: (10026) There were 1 errors compiling module, stopping Fatal: (1018) Compilation aborted If fpc does not really need X11, it would seem that those are really bugs in the affected packages, including src:transgui, not in fpc. I think this would be a good opportunity to fix the packages themselves. Thanks.
