Bug#344653: electricsheep - FTBFS: cannot find -lX11
tags 344653 + pending thanks * Stephen Gran ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) disait : The addition of libx11-dev, libxext-dev and x-dev are because the package #includes headers from those packages. I only did a simplistic grep test, so it may be over generous in my dependency (for instance, if a chunk of source is not actually built or used, my test would miss that completely). The addition of libxt-dev is for the configure test for X (it looks for X11/Intrinsic.h from the libxt-dev package) and then fills in the autoconf macro X_LIBS=' -L/usr/X11R6/lib'. Without this bit, linking fails. With it, it succeeds. The fact that /usr/X11R6/lib is in /etc/ld.so.conf and the linker still doesn't look there is a bit mystifying (as I thought that's, er, exactly what that file is for) but that's a seperate problem. Thanks a lot. Your patch fixes that issue. I applied it and built a 2.6.4-2 package successfully in my pbuilder. My sponsor will upload the new package as soon as he has the time.
