    $ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland
    $ cd wayland
    $ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
    $ make
    $ make install

    $ git clone git://people.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxkbcommon.git
    $ cd libxkbcommon/
    $ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
    $ make && make install

oh, and I have the latest xorg packages, may differ slightly from BLFS.

Mesa 7.11 (adapted from wayland's build, may not entirely match what I
used, but probably close enough.)
    $ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-gles2  \
      --with-egl-platforms=x11,wayland,drm --enable-gbm --enable-shared-glapi
    $ make && make install

cairo 0.10.3,
    $ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-gl --enable-xcb
    $ make && make install

Wayland Programs
    $ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-demos
    $ cd wayland-demos
    $ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
    $ make
    $ make install

wayland-compositor -b [path to background image] starts it up, no clue
how to run programs. The wayland programs are found in the
wayland-demos folder, I don't believe they are installed by default.

see http://wayland.freedesktop.org/building.html for more information.
