[Xastir] OSX Build - long

[John Ronan]

./configure LDFLAGS=-L/usr/X11/lib LIBS=-lXft

Sorted that. Thanks guys.

Need to head to parents now.. I've the work lappy with me, if my dad doesn't find some job or other for me to do when I get there. I'll see about doing it again on that and writing how to get openmotif built properly.

Then I'll think about whether abandon it for lesstif or not. :)

Cheers
John (EI7IG-9)

Note that MacOS doesn't really look for shared libraries around the file system with the equivalent of /etc/ld.so.conf or LD_LIBRARY_PATH, rather having paths to the shared libraries contained within the binaries themselves.  You can change these paths with install_name_tool.
