Command Explanations

sed -i 's: -L@x_libraries@::' src/platform/X11/Makefile.am: This fixes compiling with the current Xorg Libraries.

sed -i '/^AM_C_PROTOTYPES/d' configure.in: this fixes reconfiguring with the current version of automake.

bash autogen.sh: This script uses autotools to create the configure script, then it runs configure with the given arguments.

--disable-static: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
