------------------------

The fix is found at: <a href="https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1258673">https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1258673</a>

$ sudo pacman -S pkg-config xorg-server-devel libtool automake
$ libtoolize --force

Consider adding AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4]) to configure.ac
and re-run libtoolize --force.

$ vim configure.ac
$ libtoolize --force
$ aclocal
$ autoheader
$ automake --force-missing --add-missing
$ autoconf

I don't know how to include this in the build script.</pre>
