Trying to build Mosaic in pkgsrc, libhtmlw/HTML.c fails to build because
MOTIF is not defined (even though USE_MOTIF is set to 'yes' in both the
package Makefile and /etc/mk.conf).  In trying to track down why this was
so, I looked at the config.log, and see numerous items like this:

configure:1866: cc -o conftest -O -Wno-uninitialized -Wno-uninitialized -I/usr/p

Any ideas on where to look to fix this?


FWIW, I initially installed this system from a snapshot built with egcs,
and it continued to be entirely egcs-built until I rebuilt the base
system with gcc a few days ago.  (Another thing I noted in doing this
is that libg++ is not built even when building with gcc.  Linking libstdc++
to libg++ make the things that want libg++ work OK.)  This problem with
Mosaic preceded the switchover by quite some time, so I don't think that
has anything to do with it.  But I've been wrong before...


And while I'm on this platform, has anybody noticed a problem lately,
where when it goes to register a package, that it spawns an endless
stream of 'make's, until it crashes the system?  This problem also
preceded the switchover to gcc.


Thanks,
