Hmm, I'm slowly going insane over this. Either I've suddenly lost all my Clue, or the above source just won't compile.
So, I've read the documentation on compiling, I've also read Steve Smith's wonderfull howto at http://incubator.vislab.usyd.edu.au/roller/page/Steve/20040909 , and followed that, whilst correcting the small gaffe in it ("cp xorgsite.conf host.conf" should read "cp xorgsite.def to host.def"). And when I get to Make World, that's when the problem starts.
The make process seems to begin fine, configuration-wise, until it gets to the point where the various subdirectories containing the X server build code need to be compiled, in that in every one I get : "make[3]: Nothing to be done for `Makefiles'.". In every instance. Here's a typical example..
=== Building on Linux 2.6.8 i686 [ELF] (2.6.8).

.. Ad nauseum. And hey presto, nothing gets built. How dull.
After that it does what looks like a cleanup routine and attempts to remove an awful lot of files, before ending like :
<snip a whole lot of rm stuff>
rm -f glide.man
rm -f aiptek.man
rm -f ur98.man
rm -f XDarwin.man
rm -f dumpkeymap.man
rm -f *.CKP *.ln *.BAK *.bak *.o core errs ,* *~ *.a .emacs_* tags TAGS make.log MakeOut "#"*
make[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/xc-build/doc/man/misc'
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/xc-build/doc/man'
cleaning in doc/hardcopy...
make: *** hardcopy: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: Entering an unknown directorymake: Leaving an unknown directorymake[2]: *** [clean] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/xc-build/doc'
make[1]: *** [clean] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/xc-build'
make: *** [World] Error 2
picard:/usr/src/xc-build#

So, anyone else managed to compile the source on a Debian unstable box?
Anyone have a clue if it's exactly because I'm trying to build on a bleeding edge unstable box? It's driving me nuts :)
The compilation environment on this box is :
gcc (GCC) 3.3.4 (Debian 1:3.3.4-11) automake (GNU automake) 1.9.1
I'll provide any further details required.
Many regards,
Kevin Cave.
