David,
Revision 887 compiles fine on Snow Leopard with just --prefix
specified on the configure command, but it is still not detecting X
Windows.
Regards,
Rob.

It says "xmkmf: command not found", which certainly explains the
problem. It is a bit surprising that xmkmf is not there, but I
don't know whether that's a a general problem with X on Snow
Leopard or not. I did have to reinstall X at least once because
the first time it (apparently) silently failed to install
everything. Unfortunately, I don't have the media to hand to try
again today. I think it is entirely reasonable to view this as a
problem with the platform and not a problem with Poly/ML.
It seems that xmkmf has been dropped from Snow Leopard. See http://wiki.finkproject.org/index.php/Fink:xmkmf
. This mentions autoconf as one of the problem areas and says:
The "autoconf" ones are probably easy to fix (autoconf-2.62 has a
fallback detection...
I built the configure script on Debian stable (lenny) which uses
autoconf-2.61 . I'll try updating one of my machines to
"testing" (squeeze) which includes autoconf 2.64 and see if that
produces a configure script that works.
I've now installed an updated version of the configure script built
with autoconf 2.64. Could you test it to see if this detects X-
windows correctly? I've also installed an official version of
config.guess rather than my patched version. This ought to detect
64-bit on Snow Leopard. Can you let me know if that works as well?
Regards,
David
