Trying to build ConsoleKit-0.3.0 on OS X 10.4 (darwin8.11.0), I can ./configure && make, and nothing looks bad until: >gcc -g -O2 -o test-vt-monitor ck-vt-monitor.o test-vt-monitor.o -L/sw/lib /sw/lib/libdbus-glib-1.dylib /sw/lib/libdbus-1.dylib /sw/lib/libgobject-2.0.dylib /sw/lib/libgthread-2.0.dylib /sw/lib/libglib-2.0.dylib /sw/lib/libintl.dylib /sw/lib/libiconv.dylib -lc ./.libs/libck.a >/usr/libexec/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/ld: Undefined symbols: >_ck_get_active_console_num >_ck_get_max_num_consoles >collect2: ld returned 1 exit status ./configure only checks for which of the *supported* backends to use (freebsd, linux, solaris). If "none of the above", no back-end source is added to src/Makefile.am libck_la_SOURCES, so of course those symbols aren't implemented anywhere. But that's only obvious because I looked at the sources and Makefile.am and configure.ac. Would be saner if ./configure gave a clear message ASAP if there's no backend implemented for the target platform until waiting for a cryptic compiler failure.
