tags 462087 + pending thanks Hi Sam! Cc:ing the CLISP-devel upstream mailing list since this "bug" was also discussed there [1]. Please reply at least to the Debian BTS! On Tue, 15 Jul 2008 15:54:13 +0200, Sam Steingold wrote:

$ grep X_PRE_ config.log X_PRE_LIBS=' -lSM -lICE'

X_PRE_LIBS is set by the standard autoconf macro AC_PATH_XTRA, invoked by modules/clx/new-clx/configure

if you want, you can try to replace AC_PATH_XTRA with AC_PATH_X, regenerate configures &c and see if it still works.

At least on i386 with version 2.44.1 [2]: - with libxt-dev installed (thus libice-dev and libsm-dev), changing AC_PATH_XTRA to AC_PATH_X changes nothing in general - without libxt-dev, changing AC_PATH_XTRA with AC_PATH_X still doesn't change anything WRT to clx (first log). ./configure generates the same output and the same build dir as if I leave AC_PATH_XTRA (second log, again without libxt-dev) IMO the "problem" is not in modules/clx/new-clx/configure, but in src/configure instead: the check was introduced with r1.159 [4] (r1.14 for modules/clx/new-clx/configure [5]) and at least from the comment it seems to be specific to SunOS 4.x. If I'm correct (which I doubt), shouldn't this check be wrapped around "#ifdef SunOS ... #endif"? I've everyday used a CLISP built without the libxt-dev dependency for now 5 days, together with StumpWM [6], and I haven't experienced any difference or bug. For this reason, together with the fact that Debian don't build on SunOS 4.x, I removed the libxt-dev dependency from clisp Build-Depends: and clisp-dev Depends: [7]. Let's see if I break something ;-) Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca Footnotes: [1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.clisp.devel/18516/focus=18574 [2] we're freezing this week [3], so I don't have time to update CLISP to the latest released version, sorry [3] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2008/07/msg00005.html [4] http://clisp.cvs.sourceforge.net/clisp/clisp/src/configure?r1=1.158&r2=1.159 [5] http://clisp.cvs.sourceforge.net/clisp/clisp/modules/clx/new-clx/configure?view=diff&r1=1.13&r2=1.14 [6] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?archive=yes&bug=462087#10 [7] http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-common-lisp/clisp.git;a=commitdiff;h=f2695ead62...
