Description Peter Dyballa 2008-01-21 15:30:10 UTC 
The complete message is:

	configure: error: Your OS is unknown. Xorg currently only supports Linux, 		Free/Open/NetBSD, Solaris, and OS X. If you are interested in porting 	        Xorg to your platform, please email xorg@lists.freedesktop.org.

I am on (Mac) OS X – what is wrong here?

The correct name is “Mac OS X.” The writing OS-X on line #2032 is also wrong.

	host_cpu=powerpc
	host_vendor=apple
	host_os=darwin8.11.0

are defined during configure. Adding at line #32494

	  darwin*)
	  	XORG_OS="darwin"
		XORG_OS_SUBDIR="bsd"
		;;

starts compilation. Which ends with an error:

	In file included from xf86Init.c:96:
	../../../hw/xfree86/os-support/bus/Pci.h:260:2: error: #error No PCI support available for this architecture/OS combination

	make[4]: *** [all] Error 2

Try the xorg-server-1.4-appbe branch if you want something stable... otherwise 1.5 and master should atleast compile for you now
