I tried posting a reply to the following message twice, yesterday.
Somewhere
in the cyberspace my replies got lost and were never posted.
The -lXext undefined references you are getting because linXext in
xc/lib/Xext did not
get compiled.
cd to xc/lib/Xext and type
make
then cut and paste the error messages. It will help me to find out why
compilation of linXext failed.
It is a bad idea to link against existing X libs, in /usr/X11R6/lib, when
compiling X source tree.
You cannot use ./configure to compile XFree source tree. There is no
configure.
Seems to me you are new to compile X. X is compiled using imake and
makedepend
which is invoked by typing
make World >& World.log

While building xfree 4.0 I get the following error.
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-cygwin/2.95.2/../../../../i686-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot
open -lXext: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
dllwrap: gcc exited with status 1
Can anyone spare a moment to point me in the right direction to fix it? It
looks to be a simple path or environment variable problem? What is the
best way to tell ld the lib is in the /usr/X11r6/lib dir as xfree does not
use
"./configure --prefix=/usr/X11r6 --x-includes=/usr/X11r6/include --x-librari
es=/usr/X11r6/lib "
My build is std CD v1.0 build with a path to gcc 2.95.2 added.
