magicpoint @1.13a - fatal error: ' X11 .rules' file not found

[d0wntime]

Magicpoint fails to compile. The build stops during imake with. Strangely, this appears to be the same as #34972 and #34503 (submitted by me 5/18/12), only now with OS X 10.9 and Xcode 5.0.2.

Ok, this is the issue where clang does not work as a C preprocessor for imake; until magicpoint is fixed to not use imake, we need to use GCC's cpp instead.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

We had encountered this problem before in #34503 but were unable to reproduce it. It's now re-appearing because in Xcode 5, clang is the only included compiler.

I see the exact same error in trying to build tightvnc on Mavericks.
