Issue 81: X11-1.3.0 won't build on OSX 10.4 without altering X11.cabal to point to /usr/X11R6/lib http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=81 New issue report by hitesh.jasani: What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. untar X11-1.3.0 2. 'runghc Setup.hs configure --without-xinerama', configure correctly finds X libs in /usr/X11R6/lib 3. 'runghc Setup.hs build' fails What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expected that the build would succeed, but it fails because it no longer knows where to pick up the X libs. BTW, Cabal also issues a warning about build-type being an unknown field. % runghc Setup.hs build Setup.hs: Warning: Unknown field 'build-type' Preprocessing library X11-1.3.0... /usr/bin/ld: can't locate file for: -lX11 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status linking Graphics/X11/Types_hsc_make.o failed command was: /opt/local/bin/ghc-6.6.1 -lX11 Graphics/X11/Types_hsc_make.o -o Graphics/X11/Types_hsc_make Setup.hs: got error code while preprocessing: Graphics.X11.Types What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? X11-1.3.0.tar.gz on an Intel Macbook running OSX 10.4. GHC is ver 6.6.1 and Cabal is 1.1.6.2. Please provide any additional information below. If I add the line 'extra-lib-dirs: /usr/X11R6/lib' to the bottom of X11.cabal, the build will succeed and I can install fine. But I'm not sure why I should have to do this since Cabal had correctly figured out where my X libs were during the configure step. If this error is due to a module from XMonadContrib, please tag this issue with 'Component-Contrib' below.
