Building X server from the source

Question

I have a Virtual Box with Ubuntu running. I want to study about Xserver so I need to know how can i get the source code of the Xserver and dependent libraries on my VM so that I can build and test the Xserver with some changes.

Could someone please guide me how should I start or any link where I can get some information.

Thanks.

try installing libgcrypt11-dev package first (11 may change depending on your repo)
