X11 requirements -- solved

[tooth pik]

i thought i had exhausted google, but with yet another stab at it, in vim.fandom.com i found reference to two packages i didn't have:  libxpm-dev and libxt-dev

i added both and boom, i again have a gui -- i don't know if i needed both of them, but now it builds fine

i apologize for the noise

[Tony Mechelynck]

I think you need them both, to go with the -lXpm -lXt arguments found
immediately before -lX11 on the gvim "Linking:" line.

Congratulations!
Tony.

libxt-dev is mentioned in SRC/INSTALL. I expect this package contains
an include file that is needed for X11.

I thought libxpm-dev is only for Motif and Vim should build without it.
But it may depend on what kind of Motif is used.

I think libxpm-dev is necessary because Vim can use XPM files for the toolbar icons.
