I had this same porblem here is what I did to get make install to work
zulu% ls
X401src-1.tgz diff-2000-10-16
X401src-2.tgz diff-2000-10-16.gz xc
X401src-3.tgz doctools-1.2.tgz
XF86Config.example
zulu% patch < diff-2000-10-16
zulu% ls
X401src-1.tgz diff-2000-10-16 jp.orig
X401src-2.tgz diff-2000-10-16.gz macppcPci.c xc
X401src-3.tgz doctools-1.2.tgz macppcPci.c.orig
XF86Config.example jp
you should have the jp and macppcPci.c file now all you have to do is cp
or mv them to the right place and make install will work
for the jp file I think this is the error message
installing in programs/xkbcomp/symbols/hp...
+ mkdir -p /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/hp
+ install -c -m 0444 us /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/hp
install in programs/xkbcomp/symbols/hp done
installing in programs/xkbcomp/symbols/macintosh...
make: don't know how to make jp. Stop
*** Error code 2
so just cp jp xc/programs/xkbcomp/symbols/macintosh
once you get past this error you will get this one
making all in programs/Xserver/afb...
making all in programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86...
making all in programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support...
making all in programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/bsd...
making all in programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/bus...
make: don't know how to make macppcPci.o. Stop
*** Error code 2
do the same cp macppcPci.c programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/bus
after that it should all install.
Now I do not know if this is what you really are supposed to do
to get it to work this is something I just tried and it worked for me
but know I am having problems with my keyboard and I still can't get
X to work correctly.
hope this helps
