Re: configure error in X build - cpp requires -undef

I hope there are a few steps between that and getting to run ./configure, but
it seems I must guess what they are...
So, guessing wildly, you need to run the package's autogen.sh script to
regenerate ./configure after applying the patches.
Looks like I need to add more detailed instructions in the Contributor's Guide...

No, that's not right.

I am trying to build the Cygwin/X following the instructions in the
Cygwin/X Contributors Guide.
When I run
./configure --prefix=/usr
the last few lines of output are:
...
checking if /usr/bin/cpp requires -undef... configure: error:
/usr/bin/cpp defines unix with or without -undef. I don't know what
to do.
Any help to get past this would be greatly appreciated.
This means that the X server source you are building didn't have it's
./configure generated with xorg-util-macros with a patch needed for
cygwin [1]
The X server source package available via cygwin setup shouldn't have
this problem. What source are you using?
