2121	Xorg 7.1 utilities - util-macros - .m4 files installed in the wrong place	Bryan Kadzban	blfs-book@…	"In the installation instructions for Xorg 7.1 (modular), in the Xorg Utilities section, the last package installed is util-macros.

Since $XORG_CONFIG contains {{{--datadir=$XORG_PREFIX/lib}}}, the configure script for util-macros is passed that parameter.  It proceeds to install two .m4 files (custom automake macros) into /usr/lib/aclocal.  But aclocal does not look in /usr/lib/aclocal, it only looks in /usr/share/aclocal (its ${datadir}/aclocal).

The easiest fix is to add {{{--datadir=$XORG_PREFIX/share}}} to the end of the util-macros configure script invocation (overriding $XORG_CONFIG).

But this isn't an issue unless someone develops software that (1) uses automake, and (2) requires these custom Xorg macros.  (Well, and (3) doesn't add {{{-I$XORG_PREFIX/lib/aclocal}}} to their invocation of aclocal.  But no other package uses e.g. /usr/lib/aclocal, so adding this will certainly not be common.)  It's likely a fairly minor problem because of that."	defect	closed	low	6.2.0	BOOK	SVN	low	duplicate
