Anyway, how to fix > it? Is it an autoconf bug? no - it is a bug in PDCurses' configure script, which assumes that the libraries are in a directory "../lib" relative to the location of the X headers. You might find this to be useful: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/agmartin/pdcurses.git/ Before noticing this, I would simply build PDCurses with a quick fix for its configure script bug. (Actually now I build it using Martin's version plus some further fixes -- I use that for test-builds, e.g., of lynx, dialog). > Please, CC. > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: William McBrine <wmcbrine@xxxxxxxxx> > Date: Mon, Jan 11, 2016 at 12:15 AM > Subject: Fwd: [PDCurses] Need with Autotools compilation on X11 > To: pdcurses-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > > > On Sun, Jan 10, 2016 at 11:28 AM, anatoly techtonik <techtonik@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > Are there any autotools experts here to say what should be > > done to debug this failure? > > > > https://travis-ci.org/techtonik/PDCurses/builds/101423050 > > You can get around it by doing: > > ./configure --x-libraries=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu > > but perhaps a more elegant solution exists? -- Thomas E.
