These instructions are a couple of years old. The build.sh script had a
major update recently.
The --help is up-to-date.

This wiki has been updated as well.
http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ModularDevelopersGuide#Buildingthemodulartree

You can let the build script set the environment variables for you.
The default values should work for you unless you have very special
needs.

What you might get into is some missing tools. This wiki lists all the
packages
you need to build xorg. It would be nice if you could update it with
version 10.10.
You have about 20 or so UBUNTU packages to install.

        Usage: build.sh -L
          -L : just list modules to build
        util/modular/build.sh -L > modlist.txt  # Creates a list of all modules 
to be built
        
        Usage: build.sh [options] [prefix]
        
        util/modular/build.sh --clone -n        # Do not stop on error
        util/modular/build.sh --clone --autoresume resume.txt   # Stop on error 
but record where you are


You must supply the prefix which is where you want the modules to
install the binaries, not where the source code is (but it could be the
same). Expect a git repository to time out, it happens sometimes.
