It's a matter to be reported to the developers of the software; ideally, they should revise their build process to not rely on a running window server. Not knowing their code, I'm not sure specifically how they would achieve this, but most other projects seem to manage it without trying at all. :) That is, I think they're doing something unusual that's requiring a window manager, and perhaps they can stop doing that unusual thing and find another way of doing the same thing.
