Looking at the config.log entries relating to that check suggests
CONFIGURE_ENV = LDFLAGS=-L/usr/X11R6/lib
- build fails later though. These help:
CONFIGURE_ARGS = --disable-openmp
CONFIGURE_ENV = LDFLAGS=-L/usr/X11R6/lib \
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/X11R6/include/freetype2
but then it tries to link to libstdc++, which it shouldn't:
/usr/bin/libtool --tag=CC --mode=link cc -O2 -pipe -std=gnu11
-L/usr/X11R6/lib -o cmpp main.o file_buffer.o pp_ifs.o pp_lst.o pp_mod.o
read_ifs.o writ_ifs.o util.o ifs_lex.o ifs_yacc.o mod_lex.o mod_yacc.o
-lncurses -lm -lfreetype -lfontconfig -lstdc++ -lreadline
warning: could not find a stdc++ library
Link error: stdc++ not found!
that should be changed somehow to use "c++" instead of "cc" to link,
and stop explicitly using -lstdc++, but I don't have enough interest in
the software to look further myself now.
(if it can be made to build, kicad and the gEDA tools will need checking
to make sure they are happy with the newer version too).
