For a number of years (at least dating back to the first version on SourceForge) xastir's configure.ac has probed for XpGetDocumentData in the Xp library.
As far as I can tell, Xastir does not use the Xp library --- there are no calls anywhere to the X Printing Extension library, and xastir compiles and links just fine without it. I bring this up because a user edited my HowTo:Ubuntu 6.10 documentation to say that libxp-dev was required --- this, despite the fact that I had tested, double checked, and triple checked the instructions in that page and confirmed that following every line of its recommendations (which did not install libxp-dev) resulted in a working version of xastir. So this afternoon I removed the probe for the Xp library from configure.ac. If you have any trouble building xastir now that it doesn't link in libXp, please let me know. If xastir *does* require this library, it would be because some other library needs it indirectly --- but since all of my Ubuntu 6.10 builds work just fine without it, I'm pretty sure that this inclusion was just a relic of an early version of the configure script, not an actual dependency. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?
