Bug 22936 – Mozilla (1.3-r2) compilation failed (missing library in a linking phase)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Mathieu MILLET 2003-06-16 11:17:10 UTC]

I try to compile mozilla 1.3-r2 and the compilation failed with the following error:
nsDeviceContextGTK.o(.text._Z9GetXftDPIv+0x2c): In function `GetXftDPI()':
: undefined reference to `XGetDefault'
nsDeviceContextGTK.o(.text._Z9GetXftDPIv+0x30): In function `GetXftDPI()':
: undefined reference to `XGetDefault'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [libgfx_gtk.so] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/var/tmp/portage/mozilla-1.3-r2/work/mozilla/gfx/src/gtk'
make: *** [all] Error 2

As I find, the XGetDefault function is provided by the file libX11.a|so (meaning linked with a -lX11) and it seems that the linking command doesn't reference that library.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge mozilla
2.
3.
Actual Results:
