linking error on Fedora 13

[jimmac]

Now I have no idea what I'm reporting here :) but on Fedora 13, current bzr fails to link the final binaries. The error I get is:

/usr/bin/ld: build.linux/src/ui/linux/x11_common.o: undefined reference to symbol 'XGetWindowAttributes'
/usr/bin/ld: note: 'XGetWindowAttributes' is defined in DSO /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 so try adding it to the linker command line
/usr/lib/libX11.so.6: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [build.linux/showtime] Error 1

On IRC I've been given this piece of information but I'm unable to provide the link to the DSO, whatever that is. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/UnderstandingDSOLinkChange

I would appreciate if the Makefile was updated so that Inkscape builds on Fedora. Thank you!

inkscape-0.47-6.fc13.src.rpm Failed To Build From Source against the rawhide tree. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FTBFS for more information.
This failure is due to a change in the linker default behavior, which uncovered a fault in your package. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ChangeInImplicitDSOLinking .
If you believe this is actually a bug in another package, do NOT change the component in this bug or close this bug. Instead, add the appropriate bug number from the other package to the "Depends on" line in this bug. If the other package does not yet have a bug created that you think matches, please create one. Doing so helps us properly track bugs and their dependencies, just as we track package dependencies. (If you close this bug, and the other package is not fixed before the next FTBFS run, a new bug will get created. Please follow the above advice to avoid such duplication.)

build inkscape-0.48-0.2.20100318bzr.fc14 succeeded

It turns out it's just a missing -lX11 in the Makefile.

I've commited this patch to the 0.48 branch and to trunk. I put the author as "Lubomir Rintel", I hope that is correct, I'm sorry if it's not.

I checked out the code (bzr branch lp:inkscape) the morning of 10/15/2010 and when I tried to compile on Fedora 13 I got:

/usr/bin/ld: libinkscape.a(javabind.o): undefined reference to symbol 'dlopen@@GLIBC_2.1'
/usr/bin/ld: note: 'dlopen@@GLIBC_2.1' is defined in DSO /lib/libdl.so.2 so try adding it to the linker command line

I added -ldl to the end of this line in configure.ac
INKSCAPE_LIBS="$INKSCAPE_LIBS -lpng -lz -lX11 -lxml2 -ldl"

reran configure.sh and then ran make and then it compiled fine.

* The -lX11 dependency bug discussed in this report is now fixed upstream and in Fedora.
* The -ldl dependency bug is being treated as a separate issue in bug #662979.
