EMNU build under EMBOSS 2.1.0

[David Mathog]

Trying to get EMBASSY bits working under EMBOSS 2.1.0 on Solaris 8
(following
mostly successful build of EMBOSS 2.1.0 using Forte cc.)  Copied entire
EMBASSY
directory from 1.12.0 EMBOSS to 2.1.0.  Tried gmake in EMNU 1.0.4. 
BOOM, it couldn't
find X11 symbols.  Tossed that, installed new 1.0.5 distribution clean
in embassy
directory.  In EMNU did

./configure
(or ./configure --with-x, same phenotype)
gmake

boom, it couldn't find X11 symbols again.   After dropping into the
source directory
it was doing:

 /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc  -O   -o emnu  emnu.o
../../../plplot/libplplot.la ../../../ajax/libajax.la
../../../nucleus/libnucleus.la -lmenu -lform  -lmenu -lform -lsocket
-lm  -lnsl -lncurses

which you'll notice has no -lX11 on the end, and of course it couldn't
link in the X11 bits. So I ran this manually with -lX11 added to the end
and it worked. 

I just checked, emnu under 1.12.0 still will gmake.

Why is it that in EMBOSS 1.12.0 EMNU knows to use the X11 lib but has
forgotten
to do so in 2.1.0???
