Description Petr Zima 2013-10-23 19:49:04 UTC

Install fails during compile phase due to underlinking with recent binutils:

/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.7.3/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: game_core.o: undefined reference to symbol 'XGetSelectionOwner'
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.7.3/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: note: 'XGetSelectionOwner' is defined in DSO /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 so try adding it to the linker command line
/usr/lib/libX11.so.6: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Obviously it needs -lX11. After fixing that similar error occurs with -lboost_system.

Reproducible: Always
