[Xquartz-dev] Building Xquartz git snapshot(how to?)

[Jeremy Huddleston]

Yes, you are missing something.

You don't want to do 'sudo make install DESTDIR=/usr/X11' ... DESTDIR  
is a fake-root (IE, you pretend that / is actually $DESTDIR).  This is  
used for packaging (so I set DESTDIR=/var/tmp/X11_merge for all the  
X11 packages, then all the X11 files are installed there... think of  
it as being able to just tar up DESTDIR and untar it into / on any  
system).  If you want to install it on a live system, don't give  
DESTDIR.  It will go into /usr/X11 because you have --prefix=/usr/X11  
(giving DESTDIR=/usr/X11 would actually put the files in /usr/X11/usr/ 
X11)
