We do want to check for X11 if a GUI is choosen that needs it (ie.
"fb,gtk") but not if none of the choosen GUIs need it ("fb" only) I
guess.


s> Who complains ? The linker ?

No, Gnash builds fine. But I copy all binaries to the target system
(still same architecture). Starting the executable there brings up the
missing .so error because I don't have (and don't want) the X11 system
on that machine.

That's why I said "when I _start_ Gnash"...

Which Makefile.am do you mean? backend/Makefile.am? NO X11_LIBS in
there. Sorry, I'm not a Makefile.am guru...

Can't answer this.
