Building X11 tools on opensolaris?

[Mike Meyer <mwm-keyword-pkgsrc.2490e0%mired.org@localhost>]

I'm using the 2008Q2 pkgsrc tarball on OpenSolaris SXCE b96. I've
installed the SXCE X11 builds, on the (possibly false) assumption that
the low level drivers would work better.

Building non-X things seems to work fine.

Building X things seem to want x11/xcursor built, which tries to build
x11/XFixes, which fails like so:

===> Building for Xfixes-2.0.1nb4
/usr/pkg/bin/bmake  all-am
source='Cursor.c' object='Cursor.lo' libtool=yes  depfile='.deps/Cursor.Plo' 
tmpdepfile='.deps/Cursor.TPlo'  depmode=none /usr/pkg/bin/pdksh ./depcomp  
/usr/pkg/bin/pdksh ./libtool --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.    
-I/usr/pkg/include -I/usr/include -I/usr/X11/include -I/usr/openwin/include 
-DXTHREADS -O -I/usr/pkg/include -I/usr/include -c -o Cursor.lo `test -f 
'Cursor.c' || echo './'`Cursor.c
 gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I/usr/pkg/src/x11/Xfixes/work/.buildlink/include 
-I/usr/pkg/src/x11/Xfixes/work/.x11-buildlink/include -DXTHREADS -O -c Cursor.c 
 -KPIC -DPIC -o .libs/Cursor.o
"/usr/pkg/src/x11/Xfixes/work/.buildlink/include/X11/Xlibint.h", line 45: 
cannot find include file: <X11/XlibConf.h>
"Xfixes.h", line 28: cannot find include file: <X11/extensions/xfixeswire.h>
"Xfixesint.h", line 35: cannot find include file: <X11/extensions/xfixesproto.h>
"Cursor.c", line 33: undefined symbol: xXFixesSelectCursorInputReq

Ok, the reason for the failure is obvious - the gcc command isn't
getting the -I/usr/X11/include flag, as the missing files are there.

What I'm confused about is - why is this trying to build xcursor in
the first place? According to the pkgsrc users guide, X11BASE defaults
to /usr/X11R6, and xcursor provides link libraries and header files -
which are in /usr/X11R6 already. So why is xcursor being rebuilt?

mk.conf is below. Are the docs wrong and I need to set X11BASE? Should
I just use the xorg from pkgsrc?

  Thanks,
