Building Modular: Floating point exception when running makekeys

[Ashley Hooper]

Hi Peter,

Thanks muchly for pointing me in the right direction, I may need a tad more
guidance though - see below:

(Incidentally, running the xcb-proto 'make' above gave the "nothing to do"
message for targets 'all' & 'all-am' - not sure if that's important)

Excuse my ignorance, but what should I be putting for the prefix paths in the
above and below autogen commands?  The xcb-proto 'make install' copies a bunch
of files to $prefix/include - I presume it's the same path in all 3 locations,
and that the build.sh script is going to expect the resulting files to be
somewhere in the modular source tree?  I'm guessing the most likely candidate
is the directory we renamed from libX11 to X11, now sitting at lib/X11?

Just out of interest, did the compile complete successfully or is it still
going? :-)

Cheers
