+= X.Org - Build Instructions for JURECA
+[[PageOutline]]
+
+
+'''X.Org''' is free, open-source software. It provides an open source implementation of the X Window System. The development work is being done in conjunction with the freedesktop.org community.
+
+* [https://www.x.org X.Org]
+* [https://www.freedesktop.org FreeDesktop.org]
+
+The best place to get X is from your operating system or distribution vendor. X.Org currently provides no binaries.
+But if one wants to profit from recent updates and new features it makes sense to build X.Org from source.
+
+There are two maintained build processes you can use. One is based on a simple Bourne script (build.sh) and one is a customization of the Gnome JHBuild process.
+'''We use the Gnome JHBuild process here.'''
+
+== 1. Preliminaries ==
+* General build instructions can be found here:
+  * https://www.x.org/wiki/Building_the_X_Window_System
+  * https://www.x.org/wiki/JhBuildInstructions
+
+{{{ #!sh
+# set a build directory for X.org
+export BASE=$(pwd)
+
+# load module environment for compiler
+module load gcc/5.4.0
+}}}
+
+=== JHBuild ===
+
 JHBuild allows you to automatically download and compile modules for a complete rebuild of GNOME - this includes X.Org.
-https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Projects/Jhbuild
+* https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Projects/Jhbuild
+
+{{{ #!sh
+## build jhbuild and install in ~/.local/bin
+cd ${BASE}
+git clone https://git.gnome.org/browse/jhbuild
+cd jhbuild
+./autogen.sh --simple-install
+make
+make install
+}}}
+
+=== Third-Party libs
+
+Some of the !ThirdParty packages need to be built first. These third party sources are required, but are not bundled.
+* [https://www.gnu.org/software/gperf gperf] - version 3.1 works.
+* [https://www.freetype.org FreeType] - version 2.4.0 works.
+
+{{{ #!sh
+export PATH=${GPERF_ROOT}/bin:$PATH
+export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=${FREETYPE_ROOT}/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
+}}}
+
+== 2. Setup X.Org Build Process ==
+Source packages are downloaded by JHBuild automatically. What is required is a 
+* xorg.modules file -> examples: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/util/modular/plain/xorg.modules
+* xorg.jhbuildrc file -> example: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/util/modular/plain/jhbuildrc
