see configure.ac, the headers are installed into the 'sdkdir': # X Server SDK location is required to install Synaptics header files # This location is also relayed in the xorg-synaptics.pc file sdkdir=`$PKG_CONFIG --variable=sdkdir xorg-server` AC_SUBST([sdkdir]) I don't think there's a configure flag for it but you can hack around that locally.
