Hi Waldek,
Thanks for looking into this, unfortunately the change made no difference.
Though I have discovered something interesting I think. The build errors out
with:
---
/Users/pdo/Projects/FriCAS/build/config ../../../fricas/src/lib/pixmap.c -o
pixmap.o
../../../fricas/src/lib/pixmap.c:38:10: fatal error: 'X11/Xos.h' file not found
#include <X11/Xos.h>
^
1 error generated.
make[2]: *** [pixmap.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-lib] Error 2
make: *** [all-src] Error 2
---
but looking in Xos.h I see the following includes:-
---
#include <X11/Xlib.h>
#include <X11/Xutil.h>
#include <X11/Xos.h>
---
which seems to imply that it found Xlib.h and Xutil.h okay. Then looking
inside the configure script I see some special code mentioning X11/Xos.h, but
to be honest that’s as far as I’ve got as I’m not too familiar with the build
process. I’m hoping this might give you some clue as to what is really
happening.
