to see what exactly the configure script tried to do and what exactly faile=
d. It can probably be fixed with a few additions to CFLAGS or LDFLAGS.

# make
...
checking for XOpenDisplay in -lX11... no
configure: error: Could not find XOpenDisplay in -lX11.
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/pkgsrc/wm/bsetroot

Digging a bit deeper: config.log

configure:2520: checking for XOpenDisplay in -lX11

char XOpenDisplay();

int main() {

And in the configure:

The "ld: cannot find -lX11" seems to be ominous; but I'm too ignorant
to know what to do to fix this!

Thanks a lot for taking the time to help out! It is much appreciated.
