There is no such thing as a single binary for X11R7.7 - its dozens of programs
and libraries and hundreds of data files (fonts, bitmaps, docs, etc.).

I also don't understand how you would use it to "check the OS" - if this is a
new OS or hardware/CPU platform, then you're likely going to have to port it,
not just build it.  If it's an existing OS/CPU, then someone has probably
already done all of this - often the OS distro maker - and you should be
installing their packages, not starting from scratch.

If you are going to build it all, then generally, you would run
"./configure ; make ; make install" for every module, but there's a lot of
dependencies, including specific ordering between the modules if you don't
have any X packages already, so a far more detailed guide is available at:
