Thanks Michel,
configure.ac:41: error: must install xorg-macros 1.8 or later before running
autoconf/autogen
This looks like your problem.
Yes indeed, but I was using jhbuild and it seems it already installed those
xorg-macros in file path
xorg-build/share/aclocal/xorg-macros.m4
with version 1.19
but perhaps that is not the place where xf86-video-ati expects to find it?
autoconf normally only looks in /usr/share/aclocal - if you've not installed
xorg-macros.m4 there, then you need to set an environment variable to tell
autoconf where to look for it:
ACLOCAL="aclocal -I /wherever/xorg-build/share/aclocal/xorg-macros.m4"
(change to whatever the full path is on your system).
I do not exactly know what kind of a "thing" xorg-macros is -- apparently
it is not a regular xorg package as at least it does not appear in https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/
It does, it's just confusingly named there as "util/macros" without the "xorg-".
