If you are creating a Linux From Scratch system, there is significant work in getting all the required tools installed. You will basically do all the work the distros are doing. Ubuntu and Fedora are popular distros and plenty of users. <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> I have read that module developers guide, but it is not detailed like what LFS book does. </BLOCKQUOTE> Correct, on the other hand it is sufficient to build from source from the main distros. The main source of build errors are missing/back level tools. I added the list of tools needed in this wiki: <A HREF="http://wiki.x.org/wiki/RequiredPackages">http://wiki.x.org/wiki/RequiredPackages</A> Building is done continuously on various workstations and their build logs may help: <A HREF="http://tinderbox.freedesktop.org/">http://tinderbox.freedesktop.org/</A> I have very little info from which to make recommendations. <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>   Many thanks.   Fred   </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> From: Gaetan Nadon [mailto:memsize@videotron.ca] Sent: Saturday, April 30, 2011 6:35 AM To: Fred Liu Cc: X.Org Developers Subject: RE: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(X, xproto)'? </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>   On Fri, 2011-04-29 at 05:01 -0700, Fred Liu wrote: Gaetan,   I have tried moving, it is gone, but there is a new one like: I assume you mean the makedepend module built successfully because the xproto module was built beforehand.

I don't know which distro/OS you are using. There is typically 20+ packages to install that aren't installed by default. It's hard to tell from build errors. It looks like you are starting to build from source on a clean system.

It looks it was moved too early, before "proto". In build.sh, can you move building makedepend after "build proto" and check if it corrects the problem?
