Re: gtk+-3.0.10: undefined reference to `XCompositeReleaseOverlayWindow'

I reconfigured with --disable-xcomposite
and got MUCH further in the compile,
but now hit:

  CCLD   gtk-query-immodules-3.0
./.libs/libgtk-3.so: undefined reference
to `pango_cairo_show_glyph_item'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

That's odd, as you gave a linker error(!)

Looks as though gtk's configure.ac needs something based on

AC_PATH_XTRA
CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS $X_CFLAGS"
LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS $X_LIBS"
AC_CHECK_LIB([Xcomposite], [XCompositeReleaseOverlayWindow],
 [stuff to do if found])

Cheers,
