that'll do.  or just run each step one at a time.  configure will tell 
you when it finishes what it's going to build - if it says "no" for the 
menu, there's something really odd going on.  as for the compilation 
itself, just watch the output to see if the stuff in modules/menu get 
built, and then, afterwards, make sure there is a .so file in 
modules/menu/.libs.  'make install' will install 
libxfce4_desktop_menu.so to $prefix/lib/xfce4/modules, so make sure that 
happens.  if you want to redirect all this to a file and look at it 
after the fact (if that's easier), by all means, go for it.
