The following steps should work to build the Xquartz that comes with Leopard, assuming you're on a Leopard system. (It's possible to do this on Tiger, too, but is much more difficult and the subject for another conversation.)

I'd be interested in hearing if that binary fixes the cursor problem (I still have never successfully reproduced the problem, and not for lack of trying). I would also like to hear if those instructions work, and I would love any other patches thrown my way, too.

I was able to successfully build and run Xquartz using your above instructions and your tarball. Can't do -arch x86_64 yet though (fails while building crAppleWM.m -> crAppleWM.o).


Also, when building from GIT I ran into this problem that I solved (patch attached below):

configure.ac:556: error: possibly undefined macro: XTRANS_CONNECTION_FLAGS
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.


It looks like aclocal isn't picking up the macros in /usr/X11/share/ aclocal (it needs xtrans.m4 in that directory), and in order to get autoreconf to pass the right -I flag to aclocal I had to add this patch to the Makefile.am:

diff --git a/Makefile.am b/Makefile.am
