Being pedantic here, that’d be -I/usr/X11/include for 10.7 only. 10.8 and later all use /opt/X11 as their real X11 tree. > Likewise, -L/usr/X11 (for 10.7/10.8) and -L/opt/X11 (for 10.9 or > later) would be appended to LDFLAGS when a BuildDepends on x11-dev is > detected.

It seems like a fair number of packages honor these flags for parts of their build and then don’t honor them in other parts—often having relied on the now nonexistent /usr/include/X11 symlink. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
