Description An Müller 2023-10-13 19:53:18 UTC 
Compiling xfdesktop-4.19.1[-X] fails while linking.

The error is:

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/13/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: xfdesktop-xfdesktop-icon-view-manager.o: undefined reference to symbol 'XInternAtom'
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/13/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /usr/lib64/libX11.so.6: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line

Using mold:

mold: error: undefined symbol: XInternAtom
>>> referenced by xfdesktop-icon-view-manager.c
>>>               xfdesktop-xfdesktop-icon-view-manager.o:(xfdesktop_icon_view_manager_rootwin_event_filter)




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
# emerge xfdesktop

Actual Results:  
Linker throws an error.

Expected Results:  
Survive linking.

The system has libX11 installed, but no X server.
xfdesktop is supposed to kinda, somewhat work with wayland.

The full build log is attached.

Comment 3 An Müller 2023-10-25 16:49:38 UTC 
I tested the upstream patch on the 4.19.1 ebuild. The package builds with it, and it actually works (wallpaper, menus, config app) in my pure wayland setup, using labwc. \o/
