The build.sh script had a major update recently. The --help is up-to-date.

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. <A HREF="http://wiki.x.org/wiki/RequiredPackages">http://wiki.x.org/wiki/RequiredPackages</A> <BLOCKQUOTE> <PRE> 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 </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> 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).
