tightvnc: fatal error: ' X11 .rules' file not found

[Liontooth (David Liontooth)]

On a High Sierra 10.13.5 (17F77), I run into bug #40862:

:info:build .././/config/cf/vnc.def:111:23: warning: missing terminating '"' character [-Winvalid-pp-token]
:info:build #define XvncRelease             \"TightVNC-1.3.10\"
:info:build                                  ^
:info:build In file included from Imakefile.c:8:
:info:build In file included from .././/config/cf/Imake.tmpl:164:

:info:build         for flag in ${MAKEFLAGS} ''; do \                               @@\
:info:build                                  ^
:info:build In file included from Imakefile.c:8:
:info:build .././/config/cf/Imake.tmpl:1320:10: fatal error: ' X11 .rules' file not found
:info:build #include ProjectRulesFile
:info:build          ^

So this is a duplicate of #40862, still present in High Sierra and 2.5.3 -- is there a good solution?

There are patches in that other ticket that with a bit of modification fix up the preprocessor issue.

The other issue (not finding libXau.a, I believe it was, is a bit weirder.

I think it might be fixed by defining _FORTIFY_SOURCE to 0, but that's just a guess at this moment.

No point having two tickets open for the same issue.
