Hello,
Trying to compile xtrlock from source on a RHEL system. It has an Imakefile but not being familiar enough with that system getting errors running imake:
#! Imakefile for xtrlock - X Transparent Lock

SingleProgramTarget(xtrlock,xtrlock.o,-lcrypt -lX11,)
InstallProgram(xtrlock,$(BINDIR))
InstallManPage(xtrlock,$(MANDIR))
This is what happens when we try imake:
imake -v -I /usr/share/X11/config/
gcc -I. -Uunix -D__amd64__ -D__amd64__ -traditional -Dlinux -I -E -v Imakefile.c
Using built-in specs.
Target: x86_64-redhat-linux
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-checking=release --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-libgcj-multifile --enable-languages=c,c++,objc,obj-c++,java,fortran,ada --enable-java-awt=gtk --disable-dssi --enable-plugin --with-java-home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-1.4.2.0/jre --with-cpu=generic --host=x86_64-redhat-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.1.2 20070626 (Red Hat 4.1.2-14)
gcc: GNU C no longer supports -traditional without -E
imake: Exit code 1.
Stop.
Tried taking out the -traditional in the files in /usr/share/X11/config/ but still gets the error. 
There is also a Makefile.noimake:
# Makefile for xtrlock - X Transparent Lock
# This Makefile provided for those of you who lack a functioning xmkmf.

LDLIBS=-lX11
CC=gcc
CFLAGS=-Wall
INSTALL=install
xtrlock: xtrlock.o
xtrlock.o: xtrlock.c lock.bitmap mask.bitmap patchlevel.h
install: xtrlock
$(INSTALL) -c -m 755 xtrlock /usr/bin/X11
install.man:
$(INSTALL) -c -m 644 xtrlock.man /usr/man/man1/xtrlock.1x
But it gives this error:
make
gcc xtrlock.o -lX11 -o xtrlock
xtrlock.o: In function `passwordok':
xtrlock.c:(.text+0x28): undefined reference to `crypt'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [xtrlock] Error 1
We are a little rusty on this stuff so... Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
