It's not hopeless, but I really wouldn't recommend it.  You *should* always
get build errors telling you what you need to install or upgrade, but you
may be the only one trying to build this particular bleeding edge stuff on
such an old distro, which can easily result in others not realizing that
versions need to be specified in build dependencies, as I just came across
in the newer Oneric release with mesa's build dependencies.

Wayland is really bleeding edge.  It depends on a lot of stuff that is
really bleeding edge.  Unless you have a *very* good reason not to, it's
probably a bad idea to start with anything other than the latest release of
your distro (in the case of Ubuntu, that's Precise).

I think I mostly answered this.  Basically, I don't know, and it's not
worth my effort to figure it out.

I would expect in most cases just needing to build 7 additional git repos
for xcb in Oneric would be enough reason to upgrade to Precise.  Why are
you running Natty?
