Need help building latest xserver-xorg from git

I need to build my own xserver-xorg because of this bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7916
the patch is already on xorg-git, and I already cloned the source on my computer.
The problem is that ./configure says:
Requested 'kbproto >= 1.0.3' but version of KBProto is 1.0.2

so I download kbproto from freedesktop git, but I cant compile it, when I ./configure it, it generates the proper Makefile, but when I run make it says:
make: Nothing to be done for `all'.

make install runs ok, but it just copies some headers file to /usr/local/include/X11/extensions/

Is building xserver-xorg so difficult? or is it kbproto 1.0.3 too undocumented yet?

thanks in advance for any help on this

root@archaeopteryx ~# pacman -Ql kbproto
kbproto /usr/
kbproto /usr/include/
kbproto /usr/include/X11/
kbproto /usr/include/X11/extensions/
kbproto /usr/include/X11/extensions/XKB.h
kbproto /usr/include/X11/extensions/XKBgeom.h
kbproto /usr/include/X11/extensions/XKBproto.h
kbproto /usr/include/X11/extensions/XKBsrv.h
kbproto /usr/include/X11/extensions/XKBstr.h
kbproto /usr/lib/
kbproto /usr/lib/pkgconfig/
kbproto /usr/lib/pkgconfig/kbproto.pc

The XXXproto packages ARE only header files.

Re: Need help building latest xserver-xorg from git

then how am I supposed to build version 1.0.3 in order to compile xserver-xorg, if 1.0.3 are just headers files?

You just need to install it. I recommend using the kproto PKGBUILD from ABS. Change the pkgver and md5sum, build the package and install it.
