>Release: FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT i386
>Organization:
Sitara Networks Inc., Waltham MA
>Environment:
4.0-CURRENT as of 18 November 1999, recently upgraded from a
virgin install of 3.3-RELEASE.
>Description:
xpm was originally fetched to install fvwm2. It built without
returning any error messages, but the subsequent build of
fvwm2 failed with a missing libXpm.4. Examination of the Xpm
build directory and /usr/X11R6/lib showed that only the static
library libXpm.a had been built.
>How-To-Repeat:
On a virgin system,
# cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/fvwm2
$ make install
>Fix:
It looks like there's something flaky with lib/Imakefile,
resulting in the Makefiles not having any code for shared
libraries. I'll continue to investigate if I have time.
