[MINC-users] xdisp does not build on Debian Etch

[EJ Nikelski]

Hi again,

    After a brief introduction to the autotools, I find myself replying
to my own posting. xdisp does not build because EZWGL **USED** to be
included and built with xdisp, but has since been partially removed --
although there is no mention of this in the ChangeLog. So, while
configure.ac has commented out the reference to EZWGL, it persists in
Makefile.am, resulting in the previously mentioned build error. A very
quick work-around: build EZWGL separately, and then copy the entire
EZWGL-1.50 subdirectory into the xdisp build directory ... then do xdisp
configure, make, etc. Works for me.
