Summary: Makefile-FreeBSD falsely assumes X11BASE is set
Product: Exim
Version: 4.70
Platform: All
OS/Version: FreeBSD
Status: NEW
Severity: bug
Priority: medium
Component: Release process
AssignedTo: nigel@???
ReportedBy: richard@???
CC: exim-dev@???
For FreeBSD ports, X11BASE is set in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk
LOCALBASE?= /usr/local
X11BASE?= ${LOCALBASE}
but this file is not picked up when building from just the source alone [it's
my choice to build from source, not from the port]
... and hence X11 is not set correctly by X11=$(X11BASE) in the
OS/Makefile-FreeBSD script. A typical failure message of the build process
would be:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXaw
This has been a problem for a couple of years; although in the dim and distant
past there was an X11BASE environment variable, and clearly the code dates from
then. Note that this isn't a problem for the FreeBSD port.
A fix (hope I'm not assuming too much of make) would be
