What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
xdotool 2.20100818.3004 on Mac OS X 10.6.4 with Xcode 3.2.3

Please provide any additional information below.
Adding -lX11 to LDFLAGS fixes it. So this is like issue 32 again.

Sounds similar to issue 32 as you mentioned. I'll think of a good way to work 
around this so we only depend on libxdo, but in the meantime adding -lX11 is a 
reasonable workaround. 

Sorry about this! I need to find a way to test for these kinds of issues so I 
can ensure they do not exist during releases. On Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04 I don't 
have this problem during compilation...

Is this fixed in the current release? I think it should be. Can you confirm?

I had unrelated problems building the October 2010 release, but 2.20110530.1 
builds fine without manually adding -lX11. Thanks.
