Hundreds of packages have been fixed already, so it would indeed be interesting to know about those that haven't, and to fix them. We do have xmkmf in Fink, but unfortunately installed in a place where configure does not find it automatically without aid. -- Martin -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Thank you for the answers... I'll try and find out which packages are affected. At least I know what I'm facing now, and maybe one can get this old script back working, at least until all the packages detect X11 without it.

Re: [Fink-users] Autoconf having trouble to find X11 libs on snowleo
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 It doesn't actually work on on a 10.5 setup which doesn't have a /usr/X11/bin/xmkmf, either. That's the normal state of X11s that were installed after OS 10.5.2 or so. People who started at 10.5.0 may still have it, since Software Update doesn't remove it, nor does the X11 installer from macosforge.org, so maintainers often miss that. A lot of packages check for xmkmf in the PATH as their X11 detection system. Some of them are nice enough to provide alternate configure parameters to get around that, so we can add : --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib--x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include to the ConfigureParams (arguments to the configure script). Some packages, however, don't do that, and we have options to get around this lack, via our own xmkmf package and passing an environment variable or even setting the PATH appropriately. Basically, file a report for each individual package that you want which is having this problem and we'll come up with a fix. - -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison Jan Haag wrote: > Well...

Re: [Fink-users] Autoconf having trouble to find X11 libs on snowleo
Well... It basically shows up in configure saying checking for X... no That holds true for any package that checks for it... I only found it in trying to install libxfce4mcs3-4.2.3-1003, but other packages seem to have the same problem. I'm not too good when it comes to shell scripting, but to me it looks like the problem is in the configure script... X11 itself seems to be fine, as Gimp.app works. Actually, a small app that uses the X11 libs for debugging GUI apps just built fine, but it doesn't have a configure script... (It is called xdotool, if that matters -- just something I found in an old backup for a test...) The only idea I have on why this might happen is that some kind of environment variable is unset in snowleo, which used to be set in older OS X versions... That's about it -- I can't think of anything else that could be of any help at all...

I don't understand quite what you mean, it works for me: $ cat configure.ac AC_INIT([foo],[0.1]) AC_PROG_CC AC_PATH_X $ autoconf $ ./configure checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E checking for X... libraries /usr/X11/lib, headers This is correct, -L/usr/X11/lib is needed to find libraries, no -I flags are needed. If you are talking about a package with an older configure script, then yes, you may have to rerun autoconf on that package, or pass --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib to configure, as xmkmf does not exist on 10.6, and older autoconf did not know how to find the location of X11 on Mac OS X without it.
