<span class="gmail_quote">Hi Tim,</span><br><div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">> Most likely this is Autotools issue. At least older autoconf

<br>> Does your program really use/require libXt?</blockquote><div><br>Could be, but specifically in my case, mozilla does depend on them (for rendering stuff), and the checking at configure time is also a bit complex. So the dependecy is no at build time only but also at run-time. Anyways , I intend to ask on a mozilla mailing list about how hard would be removing such dependency ?

X_PRE_LIBS variable, which - from the documentation - contains<br>libraries, which must be linked before you link the "regular" X11<br>libraries. The configure scripts for at least debian and maemo<br>distributions returns "-lSM -lICE" for this variable. Configure scripts
<br>which try to be correct and portable and thus use this variable will<br>automatically link against this libraries - even if they do not use<br>them. I removed the use of X_PRE_LIBS temporary to avoid linking this<br>
libraries.
<br><br>Note also that recent versions of Xorg offer pkg-cocnfig *.pc files for<br>the various X11 files. I plan to use them if available and fall back to<br>AC_PATH_XTRA if not. These *.pc files do not show above behaviour of
<br>automatically adding -lSM and -lICE.<br><br>I do not have any problem with libXt.<br><br></blockquote></div><br>still wordering why are these libraries available on devel
rootstrap (so it makes possible to your app to depend on them) but not on
the device image ?
