Package xorg-macros was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xorg-macros.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'xorg-macros' found
checking whether make supports nested variables... (cached) yes
checking for mtdev_open in -lmtdev... no
checking for atan2 in -lm... yes
checking for XORG... no
configure: error: Package requirements (xorg-server >= 1.7 xproto inputproto ) were not met:

No package 'xorg-server' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XORG_CFLAGS
and XORG_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

You need to install xserver-xorg-dev. I determined this by a quick Google search which should probably be the first thing you do.

What did you search for?

It didn't work.

$  sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-dev
