Since upgradring my GNU/Linux installation from Mandrake 10.1 Official
to Mandriva Free 2007, my CVS Emacs build does not get any X
capabilities. I use the same script (cd prj/emacs; cvs update;
./configure; make etc...) as I did before.

Of course I understand that this has to do with the new install and
that I lack some "blabla-devel-y.z" libraries, but I find it hard to
figure out exactly which I lack. Using rpmdrake (which is a very nice
tool), there is a jungle of different libs for "X" to choose from. I
don't care much about which toolkit I use although GTK would be nice.

Any pointers?

Maybe this question would be more valid in some Mandria forum, I don't
know...

Can you save the configure-time log with:

    $ ./configure --with-x --with-x-toolkit-lucid 2>&1 | tee logfile

and then post online somewhere the files `logfile' and `config.log'?

This way we can look at what `./configure' does and try to find out why
it fails to locate the necessary X11 libraries.

Do what Giorgos said.  The libraries Emacs uses are libXt and libXaw,
as far as I can remember.

I wouldn't recommend the GTK+ build at least until after the current
Emacs version has been released.

Right... and a few other X11-related libraries.

I got an excellent response from Peter Dyballa, with a list of
libraries:

       libgif
       libjpeg.62
       libpng
       libtiff
       libncurses
       libICE
       libSM
       libXaw3d
       libX11
       libXext
       libXmu
       libXpm
       libXt

I installed most of them and now I have a shiny new CVS Emacs with GTK
toolkit :)

Wow.  I haven't even heard of some of those libraries.  It looks like
image support is the reason for most of those libs being needed.  Emacs
has changed a lot since v20.7 when I looked at this last.

FWIW,

Yes, a lot of these are probably a result of the local configuration.
I usually build a local CVS snapshot of Emacs 22 with:

    ./configure --prefix='/opt/emacs' --with-x --with-x-toolkit=lucid \
        --with-xpm --with-jpeg --with-tiff --with-gif --with-png

This includes *all* the graphics libraries which Emacs can work with in
X11, except for GTK+ widget support.  I haven't been able to track down
a minor bug which causes Emacs to dump core on FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT when
I enable GTK+ widget support, but the `lucid' toolkit works fine and has
been working for several months now (with the options shown above) :)

It surely does. The NEWS file for Emacs 22 is 224K in my system.
