[SOLVED] Can't compile luit (xorg-applications)

I assume 7.4-rc2 will be the final release, so I've continued and building blfs now. Xorg-applications is tagged with 7.4, but I just can't get it working with luit.

Code:

make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/build/luit/src/luit-1.1.1'
Making all in man
make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/build/luit/src/luit-1.1.1/man'
  GEN    luit.1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/build/luit/src/luit-1.1.1/man'

     pty = posix_openpt(O_RDWR);
     ^

cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
make[2]: *** [sys.o] Error 1

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/build/luit/src/luit-1.1.1'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I have googled and found it's a bug. I tried the patch but it fails:

Code:

patching file Makefile.am
patching file configure.ac
Hunk #1 succeeded at 33 with fuzz 2 (offset 7 lines).
Hunk #2 FAILED at 38.
Hunk #3 succeeded at 55 (offset -3 lines).
1 out of 3 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file configure.ac.rej

Here someone suggests to change

Code:

OS_CFLAGS="-D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500"

to 600 in configure.ac. I tried, but the final Makefile still had the value 500, and I got the same error.

This could also be about dependencies. I want to build all packages in a pure chroot, to have better control of dependencies. I tried to build luit on the running host (lfs-7.3) and then it build fine. Then I tried to build it in a pure chroot with the repos I have for 7.3, and it failed with the same error. I added all dependencies that are listed as required for all xorg-applications. I read the README and INSTALL files in the source package, but the only dependency that is listed is libenfontec. I just can't figure out what dependency is missing.

Prefix your configure command as follows:

Code:

CFLAGS='-U_XOPEN_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=600' ./configure [...]

Thanks, that solved the problem.

This is embarassing... I encountered a similar problem with xmodmap, did a lot of googling, and after a lot of struggle I went back to the book and the chapter xorg applications and read it a bit more carefully. There are instructions for both luit and xmodmap... (I build all packages separately, so I don't use their script - where they had put case statements for theses packages...)
