Description Paul Vojta 2004-04-18 06:59:25 UTC 
When trying to build a stock X11R6.7.0 (from the tar files on the xorg ftp site),
the build fails because it can't find -lXext when building Xnest.

I used the following host.def file, with no other changes:

  #define BuildServersOnly        YES
  #define ProjectRoot /usr/xorg
  #define NothingOutsideProjectRoot YES
  #define InstallXserverSetUID YES

Defining BuildXextLib and BuildX11Lib solved the problem (but this should be
automatic).

Fixing product field.

Still valid with current CVS (just hit it myself), I'll take this one.

This doesn't still happen, does it?
Comment 4 Paul Vojta 2005-07-04 16:00:17 UTC
