Rockin. Adding that UNIX_CAN_BUILD_STATIC=0 thing fixed it. Any chance you
guys can put an extra check in the configure that checks for the libXext.a
file and skips the static link step if it can not be found?
I hate to sound like a broken record here, but I not get a font related
error when I start the compiled (dynamic) executable. The application
pops up a dialog that says "Found no fonts.dir in font path ...". My
system has a bunch of fonts.dir files installed in the default locations.
Why can't abi find them? Do I need to set some env var or something?
I looked at other messages in the mailing list archives but I did not
see a solution to the problem.
% find /usr/X11R6 -name fonts.dir
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.dir
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/fonts.dir
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/fonts.dir
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/fonts.dir
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/fonts.dir
thanks
