Description charlie 2018-09-13 11:56:37 UTC 
When compiling xorg-server with autotools at the 'os' directory there is an error:

"
/bin/grep: /usr/lib64/liblzma.la: No such file or directory
/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib64/liblzma.la: No such file or directory
libtool: error '/usr/lib64/liblzma.la' is not a valid libtool archive
make[1]: *** [Makefile:661: libos.la] Error 1
make: *** [Makefile:816: all-recursive] Error 1
"

Slackware has removed all *.la files from the distro.

So has Fedora, and xserver builds fine there. There's no mention of lzma anywhere in the X server source, so this is an error in the packaging of one of the libraries we're linking against, probably libsystemd if I had to guess.

'ls /usr/lib64/*.la' and verify that you really don't have any *.la files laying around.
