Hi,

Sorry to bug you again with that, but a new FTBFS appeared in 1.4.4 with missing
libX11 when linking the examples. Here is the relevant part of the build log:
...
g++ -o gmic_gimp gmic_gimp.cpp gmic_gimp.o -Dcimg_build `gimptool-2.0 --cflags` `gimptool-2.0 --libs` -lpthread  -lfftw3 -lpng -lz 
/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccfFCi4P.o: undefined reference to symbol 'XGetWindowAttributes'
/usr/bin/ld: note: 'XGetWindowAttributes' is defined in DSO /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 so try adding it to the linker command line
/usr/lib/libX11.so.6: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [gmic_gimp] Error 1

The fix is different than the previous one, as gmic_gimp is not using LDFLAG, so
it's necessary to patch the Makefile file, as you can see in the next patch:
*** /tmp/tmpuilFjM

I haven't applied the patch yet in UbuntuDA, even if have the package ready.
Just tell me if you think I should upload it, without waiting for you.

Thanks,
Fabrice
