Thanks for supplying the instructions.
I did my own compilation on Ubuntu 12.10 (currently in Beta2, to be
released in two days) and I used the command to get the Wayland
dependencies:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool makedepend xutils-dev
bison flex x11-dev libx11-dev glproto-dev libglproto-dev
x11proto-gl-dev x11proto-dri2-dev libxext-dev libxdamage-dev
libxdamage-dev libxfixes-dev libx11-xcb-dev libxcb-glx0-dev
libxcb-dri2-0-dev libudev-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev llvm-dev

I might have missed some packages because I already installed other
dev packages to compile other stuff.
I added my instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Wayland at the
section named "How do I build Wayland manually on Ubuntu?"
If someone goes through the process again on a freshly installed
Ubuntu, it would be good to provide a full list of dev packages that
are required.
