Is dosemu build system not working correctly?

[Peter Jay Salzman]

I think there's a problem with the dosemu build system.  I'm using
Debian testing.


When I build with "linkstatic off", everything is fine:

   configure: Linking for shared libraries...

   checking for vga_simple_init in -lvga... yes
   configure: Compiling with svgalib support...

   checking for X... libraries /usr/X11R6/lib, headers /usr/X11R6/include
   checking for gethostbyname... yes
   checking for connect... yes
   checking for remove... yes
   checking for shmat... yes
   checking for IceConnectionNumber in -lICE... yes
   checking for XOpenDisplay in -lX11... yes
   configure: Compiling with X support...
   checking for X11/extensions/XShm.h... yes
   checking for X11/extensions/xf86vmode.h... yes

However, when building with "linkstatic on", the static libraries aren't
found:

   configure: Linking statically...

   checking for vga_simple_init in -lvga... no
   configure: Compiling without svgalib support...

   checking for X... libraries /usr/X11R6/lib, headers /usr/X11R6/include
   checking for dnet_ntoa in -ldnet... no
   checking for dnet_ntoa in -ldnet_stub... no
   checking for gethostbyname... yes
   checking for connect... yes
   checking for remove... yes
   checking for shmat... yes
   checking for IceConnectionNumber in -lICE... yes
   checking for XOpenDisplay in -lX11... no
   checking for XCloseDisplay in -lX11... no
   checking for main in -lXwindow... no
   configure: Compiling without X support...

I have the following packages installed:

   libx11-6, libx11-dev, x-dev, xlibs-dev, libsvga1-dev

The libraries really are on my system:

   # locate libvga.a libX11.a
   /usr/lib/libvga.a
   /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.a

But it looks like they (the static versions) aren't being found.  Is
this a known issue?  Do I have the correct libraries installed?

Thanks,
Pete
