neomacs unable to build "xfont.c" ??? #103

I'm running the latest Debian linux (Debian version 13), and I'm trying to build neomacs per the instructions here.

The "cargo build ..." and "autoconf.sh" and "./configure ..." commands work with no problem, but when I run "make -j$(nsproc)", a huge number of items get built correctly, but I get the following error:

make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'xfont.c', needed by 'gl-stamp'. Stop.

The output of this failed make suggested that I try both of the following:

*** - run "make bootstrap", which might fix the problem
*** - run "make V=1", which displays the full commands invoked by make,

However, I got the same results with "make bootstrap", and the "make V=1" does not return any more information relating to this error.

It appears that there might be a Makefile somewhere within the neomacs code base which is missing a rule for making "xfont.c".

How can I fix this?

Thank you very much in advance.
