Install on maxOS: missing X11/Xmu

[temok-cse]

Dear All, -- I am trying to install xclip on a Mac computer. The configure process fails due to configure: error: *** X11/Xmu/Atoms.h is missing ***

However such header file exists on /opt/X11/include/X11/Xmu and is not empty. I am issuing ./configure --x-includes=/opt/X11/include/X11/ but I have also tried /opt/X11/include/X11, /opt/X11/include and /opt/X11/; all fail.

I am using the X11 provided by XQuartz (https://www.xquartz.org). I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks, Temok

I'm missing the same question in linux.Do you have any another solutions?

On Linux, X11/Xmu/Atoms.h is typically in a package called libXmu-devel or similar.

macOS 10.12.5, xclip 0.12. I've just had the same issue, the following has worked out for me:

• CFLAGS="-I/opt/X11/include" LDFLAGS="-L/opt/X11/lib" ./configure
• make install

I am still experiencing this issue on CenOS 7.4 with libXmu-devel being installed in the non-standard location $HOME/usr/. Setting the flags CFLAGS or --x-includes do not solve the issue.

Same problem on Msys/mingw64, How about on there, how is the solution ?

I've had the same issue (Linux Mint 19.1 Tessa). But following @astrand 's advice I run sudo apt-get install libxmu-dev and everything worked fine.

I've appended "-I/path/to/my_custom/include" to the CFLAGS variable in Makefile, then things worked fine for me.
