1 Hello,
2
3 The latest GTK+-2.24.3 failed to build on my system because of the
4 following error:
5
6 /bin/grep: /usr/lib64/libX11.la: No such file or directory
7 /bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib64/libX11.la: No such file or directory
8 libtool: link: `/usr/lib64/libX11.la' is not a valid libtool archive
9
10 The libX11.la that is missing should be in the x11-libs/libX11 package.
11 But why is libX11.la missing?
12
13 I can emerge libX11 using USE="static-libs" or USE="-static-libs"
14 but libX11.la is not produced in either case.
15
16 The emerge log when building libX11 always shows the following:
17
18 Removing unnecessary ... x11-libs/libX11-1.4.2/image/usr/lib64/libX11-xcb.la
19 Removing unnecessary ... x11-libs/libX11-1.4.2/image/usr/lib64/libX11.la
20
21 So the .la files are being produced but are being removed afterwards.
22
23 Does anyone else have a missing /usr/lib64/libX11.la file?
