To build this package using Cabal directly from Git, you must runautoreconf before the usual Cabal build steps (configure/build/install).autoreconf is included in the GNU autoconf tools. There is no need to runtheconfigure script: thecabal configure step will do this for you.

If you are building from a source tarball, you can just use the standard Cabalinstallation stanza:

cabal configurecabal buildcabal install

Xinerama support is enabled by default if Xinerama headers are detected. Todisable Xinerama support, add the--without-xinerama flag toconfigure-option:

cabal configure --configure-option="--without-xinerama"

However, if you are building from Git, X11 usesautoconf, so you needto haveautoconf installed and runautoconf/autoheader before building:

autoconfautoheader

or

autoreconf

You will need development versions of at least the X11, xrandr, and XScreenSaverlibraries installed for the build to succeed; having the development version ofthe Xinerama library will enable some optional bindings.
