Bug#252209: glade-2: FTBFS - /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11

[Christopher L Cheney]

Package: glade-2
Version: 2.6.0-2
Severity: serious

glade-2 fails to build from source, this may be caused by a library it
depends on needing the dependency and forgetting to set in its -dev
package, or perhaps glade-2 needs to be relibtoolized like the rest of
gnome was so that it doesn't try to do recursive linking. Or maybe it
really needs the library itself and previously got by without an
explicit build depends. Sebastien Bacher can probably help you with
determining which case this is if you need help.

Thanks,
Chris Cheney
