1. You sent this to the wrong address.  For X11 questions you should use
the cygwin-xfree <at> cygwin.com mailing list.

2. There is no need to compile anything to use the X server in Cygwin. 
Just install the binary packages.  Run setup.exe and select the
"xorg-x11-base" package, which in turn will select all the other
necessary packages.  This is all documented in the Cygwin/X Users Guide:
<http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/setup-cygwin-x-installing.html>.

3. The particular package, xorg-x11-fonts, cannot be compiled because it
consists of font files and nothing else.  It is only one component of
many that is required to use the X11 server.
