Running make produces the following output:

I added LDFLAGS += -lX11 to the makefile, which fixed some of it, but still get this error:

gcc "xmousepasteblock.o"  -lev -lX11 -o "xmousepasteblock"
/usr/bin/ld: xmousepasteblock.o: in function `init_xinput':
xmousepasteblock.c:(.text+0x87): undefined reference to `XIQueryVersion'

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [Makefile:43: xmousepasteblock] Error 1

I have installed the packages suggested in the README. I have been unable to find a solution as it seems like the things which have undefined references are included in the c file appropriately.

should point out this is using the 1.3 release archive

Make sure you have pkg-config installed first. I ran into the same issue on Debian and noticed I didn't have that installed.
