Building from git

[Heinrich Janzing]

Hi,

Since I will have to be modifying Xgl (for my own use of course), I was trying 
to build the latest sources from git. I decided to use the full build script 
since that seemed to be the easiest way to get it to work. This is what I 
get:

util/modular/build.sh -m /home/penguin/git/mesa/mesa/src /home/penguin/git/xgl/build

I decided to leave out the doc building in the script since that's what's 
causing the trouble... It then runs for a while until I get this:

...

Any ideas? I'm running Kubuntu Edgy.

Thanks,
