Hi,

You have to build things in certain orders based on the dependency
requirements. For example pixman is a dependency of xserver so it must
be built and installed first. You should study the source files /
build scripts of a similar distribution or read the software's config
files looking for requirements and create a tree of dependencies in
your notes. There is an old script in the wiki that did this to track
dependencies for a person moving from X11R6 to X11R7 and it may be
useful to you.

This is old an outdated but could be a tremendous help to you and give
you some perspective:
