[modules-dev] B22 modules project build failure

[Stephen J. McConnell]

Following the update of the binary plugs to the B21 version the build
goes a lot further.  I'm now failing somewhere a long way into the build
with the following:

Rebuilding ../../../build/linux-i586/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so because of ../../../build/linux-i586/tmp/sun/sun.awt.X11/xawt/obj/.files_compiled mapfile-vers

  [snip-very-long-command]

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXtst
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [../../../build/linux-i586/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/foo/jdk/modules/make/sun/xawt'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/foor/jdk/modules/make/sun'
make: *** [all] Error 1

I'm guessing this may be because I'm building with the bootstrap JDK
pointing to the latest iced-tea distribution.  I'll try again with SE6
and see if this delivers anything different.

Cheers, Steve.
