Xemacs compiling modern distro

[leur...@gmail.com]

Hi.
Just tried to install stable Xemacs-21.4.24 on Slackware 14.2 32 bit.
Got error while ./configure --with-x :
...
checking for X defines extracted by xmkmf
checking for X11/Intrinsic.h... no
configure: error: Unable to find X11 header files.

Alrdy have that Intrinsic.h at /usr/include/X11.
Using libXt-1.1.5 (where Intrinsic.h from).
Can you guys pls help?

Can you post the config.log file?

Yes sure (final part)

This appears to be a recent glibc change.

Fixing it properly would require fixing the configure script, which I
don't know how to do without research.
For a quick hack, try editing src/config.h and defining
_DEFAULT_SOURCE where it defined either _BSD_SOURCE or _SVID_SOURCE

Tried. No luck with Xemacs. Thank you Julian.

I think I should have said, try defining _DEFAULT_SOURCE
as well as whichever of _BSD_SOURCE or _SVID_SOURCE
is defined.
Alternatively, update your distro - in mine, the relevant warning has
been commented out because it breaks too much:)
