This was driving me nuts because ddd/gdb jumps all over the place and it is hard to tell which instruction is being executed. I had to go to my top level directory, export CFLAGS and run my adapted build script: ./util/modular/build_jk.sh /share/RnD/linux/WorkingDirectories/john/X11R7/modular I used bash but I'm pretty sure tcsh would work as well. </tt> Whoever is maintaining <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.x.org/wiki/DevelopersPages">http://wiki.x.org/wiki/DevelopersPages</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ModularDevelopersGuide">http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ModularDevelopersGuide</a> might consider adding this kind of thing to make life a little easier for people using the modular build process for the first time. I assume the modular system was a team effort and the members of the team knew what each other were doing but practically none of that knowledge found its way into the documentation. Both documents are perfunctory at best.
