When I googled for this file -> slang_version_syn.h,  I read somewhere
that it has been renamed to slang_pp_version_syn.h. So I just created
a symlink to it. I didn't want to create a blank file, with the same
name as touch would have done. Because I thought this header file
might declare somethings that might be required later on in the build.
I got past the configure stage but my build fails with:

/bin/sh: -D__xorgversion__="xorg-server 1.1.99.3" "X Version 11":
command not found
make  all-am
make[2]: Entering directory
`/.automount/liberator/disk/export/1/src/XGL_CVS/xserver/doc'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `Xserver. at APP_MAN_SUFFIX@', needed
by `all-am'.  Stop.

So I removed the 'doc' directory from the Makefile. Now I can compile
few of the subdirectories, but get the following error:
Making all in fb
make[1]: Entering directory
`/.automount/liberator/disk/export/1/src/XGL_CVS/xserver/fb'

'...' before 'xTrap'
../render/picturestr.h:640: error: expected declaration specifiers or
'...' before 'xTrap'

Did anyone get this problem? If so how do you fix it? Can I just
rename every occurence of 'xTrap' in file with 'xTrapezoid'?

This might be a stupid question. The git HEAD from here ->
 git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/xserver, is the
latest X.org.7.1.1 source code right?
