building form source configure script misses dependency

[jessevdam]

When trying to compile mesa_7.4.1, I got a compile error include file GL/glxint.h not found because i had not installed the x11proto-gl-dev package. The configure script misses this dependency.

Hi jessevdam,

Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (and maybe Xorg.0.log.old) file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.

The build dependencies are there.

Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 5), quilt (>= 0.40), pkg-config,
 libdrm-dev (>= 2.4.4) [!hurd-i386], libx11-dev, xutils-dev,
 x11proto-gl-dev (>= 1.4.8), libxxf86vm-dev,
 libexpat1-dev, dpkg-dev (>= 1.13.19), libxfixes-dev,
 libxdamage-dev, libxext-dev, autoconf, automake, x11proto-dri2-dev (>= 1.99.3)

You need to sudo apt-get build-dep mesa first to pull in the build dependencies, configure scripts were never meant to pull in dependencies like that because that is a distro specific thing.
