gcc version: 4.4.5 20101112 (Red Hat 4.4.5-2) (GCC)

i install the nas following the doc "README":
[root@localhost nas-1.9.2]#xmkmf　
mv -f Makefile Makefile.bak
imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/share/X11/config

[root@localhost nas-1.9.2]#make World

[root@localhost nas-1.9.2]#make install

It's hard to imagine a more helpful, explicit error message than

/usr/bin/ld: ../../../lib/audio/libaudio.a(ConnSvr.o): undefined reference to symbol 'XauGetBestAuthByAddr'
/usr/bin/ld: note: 'XauGetBestAuthByAddr' is defined in DSO /usr/lib/libXau.so.6 so try adding it to the linker command line

It tells you exactly what the problem is and exactly what to do about it.

It's depressing to see that there are still projects using imake. Even the original perpetrators - the authors of the X windowing system - have finally abandoned it. Meanwhile, you're stuck with this bad decision, and you'll have to wade through the build system to find where to modify the link line mentioned above. If you're lucky, the developers will have anticipated system variation and provided instructions on what files to change when migrating - most likely in the top level directory, although if they're following X-style packaging and documentation it could be anywhere.

Thank you .

So what you are said is that the method of imake projects has gone out of use. And , the developers didn't provide the instructions without careful prior deliberation about system variation.

helpless and hopeless...
