adding ../../lib/Xau/libXau.a to the linking solved the problem,

why does it build for some and not for others?

reassigning to azarah for now.

[Comment 3 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2002-01-20 09:52:50 UTC]

Try adding the following to src_unpack():

cp ${S}/programs/Xserver/os/Imakefile \
    ${S}/programs/Xserver/os/Imakefile.orig

sed -e \''s:NormalLibraryTarget(os,$(OBJS)):NormalLibraryTarget(os,$(OBJS) \
../../lib/Xau/libXau.a):\'' ${S}/programs/Xserver/os/Imakefile.orig > \
${S}/programs/Xserver/os/Imakefile

Bad paste, sorry.  Use xfree-4.2.0-r1.ebuild rather.

[Comment 5 Mikael Hallendal (hallski) (RETIRED) 2002-01-20 10:36:19 UTC]

4.2.0-r1 worked fine.

[Comment 6 Mikael Hallendal (hallski) (RETIRED) 2002-01-20 15:58:09 UTC]

that is the solution pasted here, works, the stuff that actually got into -r1
doesn't work.

[Comment 7 Chad Huneycutt (RETIRED) 2002-01-21 15:42:24 UTC]

we should either mark bug #259 as a duplicate (based on summary) or close this
one out.  The first problem below seems to be fixed, but the xmkmf issue in bug
#259 needs to be addressed.

[Comment 8 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2002-01-21 16:27:09 UTC]

Sure, but it would not really have been a bug if rsync/cvs havent decided to
drop out on us between the broken one and the working one. It is/was fixed in
cvs ... dont know what the status is now with the problems at chiba.

[Comment 9 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2002-01-23 17:41:45 UTC]

fixed in -r3
