Package: gnome-libs
Version: 1.4.2-28
Severity: serious

Hi,

Your package is failing to build with the following error:
checking for X... no
[...]
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc -Wall -g -O2 -Wall -Wunused -o gnome-moz-remote gnome-moz-remote.o libgnome.la ../support/libgnomesupport.la -L/usr/lib -lesd -laudiofile -lm -L/usr/lib -laudiofile -lm -ldb-3 -L/usr/lib -lglib -lXext -lX11 -lz -lm

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXext
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [gnome-moz-remote] Error 1

This can be solved in 2 ways:
- Add a build dependency on libxt-dev
- Rebuild the configure script with debian's autoconf, since it
  fixes the problem that the macro's check for something in
  libxt-dev. Please also see
  /usr/share/doc/autotools-dev/README.Debian.gz in that case
  on how to avoid timestamp skew issues.

There are some other errors too:
readXPM.c:138:21: error: X11/xpm.h: No such file or directory

This is a missing build dependency on libxpm-dev.

And then later it fails with:
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc -Wall -g -O2 -Wall -Wunused -o htmltest test.o libgtkxmhtml.la -ljpeg -lpng12 -lz -lz -lSM -lICE -L/usr/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk -lgdk -rdynamic -lgmodule -lglib -ldl -lXi -lXext -lX11 -lm -lz -lm

Obviously adding a spurious depedency is not the best idea.

Since this is a legacy package, I'd like to avoid the hassle of your
second approach. Fortunately there's a third, which is to give
--x-includes and --x-libraries on the configure invocation.

Thanks for this and the other report; an upload is in progress now.

This presumably happened because the dependency on gdx-imlib11-dev
(and perhaps other things) no longer brings in the old xlibs-dev.
