G'day,

In case I'm not the only one who didn't know this, the current SVN version will only compile against the current Fedora 13 stable if you explicitly tell it to link an extra library (libX11).

This is what you get with a standard autogen.sh / make:

/usr/bin/ld: ui_utils.o: undefined reference to symbol 'XFree' /usr/bin/ld: note: 'XFree' is defined in DSO /usr/lib64/libX11.so.6 so try adding it to the linker command line /usr/lib64/libX11.so.6: could not read symbols: Invalid operation

Running the following from the shell before config and compile fixes this:

export LDFLAGS=-lX11

This is why:

cheers, Happy User of Geany :)

I stumbled over this last night too, but didn't find time yet to point out what the issue was. This fixes the builds for me, too. Thanks very much! :)

Hopefully, also the F13 SRPM nightly [1] also builds with this fix again.

Regards, Dominic

Should be fixed now in trunk, thanks.
