Patch for makekeys

libX11 fails to cross-compile because makekeys needs to be called during the
build process. For cross-compilation this must fail as makekeys was compiled
with the target compiler. The following patch checks if we cross-compile and
creates a noinstallable xmakekeys which is used during build.

Another issue is that calling autoreconf fails because the XTRANS_CONNECTION_FLAGS macro is unknown. Patch attached also.

Created and tested against libX11-1.1.5.

Patch for the XTRANS_CONNECTION_FLAGS macro
Comment 2 Julien Cristau 2009-03-31 12:56:51 UTC 
first issue is already fixed. second patch is wrong, you need the macros from xtrans when running aclocal.

The second patch should not be applied - XTRANS_CONNECTION_FLAGS is required
- you must have libxtrans correctly installed before building libX11 and
the xtrans.m4 installed should be in a path that your aclocal either finds
by default or you specify with the -I flag to the autoconf commands.
