I don't see how it could be pilot error to have an empty
/usr/X11R6 directory. :) In any case, a quick look at the Makefile for
doscmd shows this:
.if exists(${X11BASE}/include/X11/X.h) && exists(${XLIBDIR}/libX11.a)
CFLAGS+= -I. -I${X11BASE}/include -DDISASSEMBLER
LDADD= -L${XLIBDIR} -lX11
DPADD= ${XLIBDIR}/libX11.a
.else
CFLAGS+= -I. -DDISASSEMBLER -DNO_X
.endif
When it failed for me the error was directly related to lX11, so I'd say
that this is a genuine bug given that I didn't have either one of those
files (although I did have an empty /usr/X11R6 directory) and yet make
tried to link against libX11 anyway.
I vaguely remember having some odd problems with the .if exists
test a while back when I was working on a port, but I'm far from a make
expert, so I couldn't really say where to look for this.
