This is all to do with just what it expects me to set up via my configure script and what it will insist on having its own settings for. Somewhere there may be a lengthy explanation on their web-site of what they do and require and expect, and why they do it that way! But at present it seems that they expect me to put in -lX11 but not -L/usr/X11R6/lib while on native xcode I need to put in both.

I don't think you should do this. For instance, in the config.log for CSL I found:

configure:6574: checking Xlib.h presence
configure:6574: /Developer/usr/bin/clang -E -I/opt/local/include -I/usr/X11R6/include  -I/usr/X11R6/include  conftest.c
conftest.c:33:10: fatal error: 'Xlib.h' file not found
#include <Xlib.h>
         ^
1 error generated.

But MacPorts puts the X11 LIBS in /opt/local/include/X11 and Xlib.h is in that directory. Now, if you look in the portfile I have listed port:xorg-libX11 under depends_lib. If its not passing that path to the config/makefile then we need to find out why?

Can someone on the dev-list please verify?
