I think you want --x-include=/usr/X11/include --x-lib=/usr/X11/lib ... not /usr/X11
It's sad that they're not using pkg-config ...
They are using xmkmf, which is still the standard tool used by gnu autotools for detecting the path to X libraries.
The standard tool for finding X11 using autotools has been pkg-config since around 2004. It has been almost a decade since we gave xmkmf the boot.
If you create a configure script with current autoconf, it uses (or
tries to use) xmkmf to find the X library directory.
As for the *.dsym problem, if a recent autoconf is available, running `autoconf` should produce a configure script that does not have this problem. Apple's /usr/bin/autoconf is too old to work with Apple's compilers; the one in Lion is from 2006.
I'm not sure what you mean by "too old to work with Apple's compilers" ... it works fine here. What issue are you seeing?
The issue that started this thread, namely that configure is lead to
think that executables have a *.dsym suffix. Newer versions of autoconf
know about dsym, the 6 year old one that Apple ships doesn't. Update:
The new xcode-4.3 does not seem to come with autoconf any more.
Xcode-4.2 has autoconf-2.61 from 2006.
