If you install that libtool in /usr/local/bin, then run these commands in your xorg-xserver tree: mkdir -p /usr/local/share/aclocal What is this empty directory good for? If you make this directory and set ACLOCAL as below before you make all of the preqrequisites, some of them will place files there that you will need if you ever want to re-run autoconf on any of the packages. (Specifically, in mine I have these files: libtool.m4 ltdl.m4 pkg.m4 xaw.m4 xorg-macros.m4 xorgversion.m4 xtrans.m4 My 'X files' are in /usr/X11R7/share/aclocal. I'll add this component to ACLOCAL for the next try. When I use xorg-server-X11R7.1-1.1.0 without any patches, and try to compile Xprt, I get this: The problem here is in the ordering of the dynamic libraries. If you move them ('-lX11 -lXfont -lm -lfontenc -lfreetype -lz -lXdmcp - lXau') to the end of that line, after libXext.la, it will compile correctly. How do you find this? Which tools might tell to do so? Or is it just experience? (I am trying to compile xorg-server-1.1.99.3 of X11R7.1, that's what 'git status' tells me. And this seems to be a bit 'experimental:' minor changes in environment variables change success of making the lib targets!) This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
