Build fails in Xft1
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Build fails in Xft1 due to not finding the X installation root. If your X root isn't in your default CFLAGS, then it doesn't guess a good alternative. Changing the Makefile to actually have $includedir defined in it, and $TOP_X_INCLUDES then it compiles/installs sanely.
this was fixed somewhere along the way.
