Error during building X11R6.1

Hi all,

I am trying to build X11R6.1 from the source that I got from
www.xfree86.org. I have the 1st tar file (X32src-1.tar.gz) which is needed
for building the X servers etc.

While in the process of compiling, I get the following error:

make[5]: Leaving directory `/root/Xbuild/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86'
make[4]: *** No rule to make target
`../../programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/common/libxf86.a', needed by
`XF86_SVGA'.

It seems that it doesn't know how to make libxf86.a which is required to
build all X servers, ie XF86_SVGA, XF86_S3 etc, and therefore doesn't build
any Xserver.

Has anybody had this error as well and know how to fix it? I am building it
on Linux 2.0.0. All other stuff are built just fine like the X11R6.1 shared
libraries etc.

Cheers,
Joshua
