bagasme created an issue (vim/vim#21072)Steps to reproduce
- Configure vim with gtk4 GUI:
$ ./configure --prefix=${HOME}/.local/vim --with-features=huge \
--enable-gpm --enable-acl --with-x=yes --enable-gui=gtk4 \
--enable-multibyte --enable-cscope --enable-netbeans \
--enable-perlinterp=dynamic --enable-python3interp=dynamic \
--enable-tclinterp=dynamic --enable-canberra
Expected behaviour
I'm compiling vim with gtk4 GUI (--enable-gui=gtk4). When I check auto/config.log output, I see that X11 is not enabled despite being configure with --with-x=yes:

Switching back to gtk3 (--enable-gui=gtk3), however, does enable X11:

mattn left a comment (vim/vim#21072)Yes, this is intentional, done in patch 9.2.0511 (#20289, fixes #20268).
Vim's GTK4 GUI code does not use any X11 APIs directly; the X11 backend is loaded by GTK4 itself at runtime. Linking libX11/libXt/libICE/libSM would only add unnecessary dependencies, which was the complaint in #20268. --with-x=yes is overridden on purpose because packaging scripts often pass it unconditionally.
The trade-off: the gtk4 binary in a terminal has no +xterm_clipboard / +xsmp. Use the gtk3 build if those matter.
