I've updated the build instructions on http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ModularDevelopersGuide Quickstart for those that do not use jhbuild: export PREFIX=/opt/xorg export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PREFIX/lib export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig export PATH=$PREFIX/bin:$PATH export ACLOCAL="aclocal -I $PREFIX/share/aclocal" git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/util/modular/ util/modular echo "util/macros" > built.modules ./util/modular/build.sh --clone -p -f built.modules -r `tail -n 1 built.modules` $PREFIX Re-run the last command until a build succeeds.
