[Geany] Compiling on Fedora 13 - X11 link errors

[Ross McKay]

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 :)
