I have the libraries installed:

libX11.so  libX11.so.6  libX11.so.6.3.0

libXpm.so  libXpm.so.4  libXpm.so.4.11.0

libXrandr.so  libXrandr.so.2  libXrandr.so.2.2.0

etc. etc.
They're all in /lib64 which links to /usr/lib64
not sure how to tell the linker where to find them

[bkurdali]

Update:
by symlinking the libraries into /root/.konan/dependencies/clang-llvm-8.0.0-linux-x86-64/lib
e.g. ln -s /lib64/libXpm.so ./
etc..
I can get it to build!

however, I can't get it to run: from gdm I can select it but it goes back instantly, running startlcarswm from a running desktop (gnome) shows the bare bones of it, but crashes that desktop, and running it from another tty aborts

Hey @bkurdali, I'm glad that you could solve it. Just one question.

in src/nativeInterop/cinterop/xlib.def there are two folders references for the libraries:

• /usr/lib
• /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

Those fit to Arch Linux and Ubuntu, which are the systems, that I checked. What is the right library folder in Fedora, /usr/lib64, or something else?

[atennert]

@bkurdali, forget that last question, I re-read your comment and saw the answer at the end :)

But to answer your question: the linker and include settings are in src/nativeInterop/cinterop/xlib.def

I will add the /usr/lib64 directory later today

[bkurdali]

thanks!
