Porting blackbox WM...missing standard X11 libs?

[leith]

I'm trying to port over the blackbox WM. First of all - has anyone
done that or attempted it?

Second, (if the answer to the first is no) I downloaded the source
tarball and I've tried running the configure script. It is erroring
out on:

checking for X... libraries /usr/X11R6/lib, headers /usr/X11R6/include
checking for XOpenDisplay in -lX11... no
configure: error: standard X11 libraries not found

Any suggestions on how to resolve that?

Thanks.

Blackbox is written in C++. So, you are using the G++ compiler.
Therefore, you explicitly must tell the configure script to use the "/
usr/X11R6-gcc/" directories.
