Since its creation `configure.in.in` contains a check for `iceauth`. dnl Check for iceauth AC_PATH_PROG([ICEAUTH], [iceauth]) if test x"$ICEAUTH" != x""; then AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED([ICEAUTH_CMD], ["$ICEAUTH"], [path to iceauth]) else AC_MSG_ERROR([iceauth missing, please check your X11 installation]) fi This check does not work if you are for example cross compiling [1]. For example you cannot execute a binary compiled for the ARM architecture on the a x86 build host. Additionally the assumption that `iceauth` should be present when compiling the program is not valid. I do not know if there is a better configure check [2] or if this should be converted to an option, where the default patch can be changed. A default path should be set up dnl Check for iceauth AC_PATH_PROG([ICEAUTH], [iceauth], [/usr/bin/iceauth]) and `xfce4-session` should fail gracefully when it is run and `iceauth` could not be found. Some check in `xfce4-session/ice-layer.c`.
