Chapter 3. Shared Dependencies

libxcb-1.17.0

Introduction to libxcb

The libxcb package provides an interface to the X Window System protocol, which replaces the current Xlib interface. Xlib can also use XCB as a transport layer, allowing software to make requests and receive responses with both.

libxcb Dependencies

Required

libXau-1.0.12 and xcb-proto-1.17.0

Recommended

libXdmcp-1.1.5

Installation of libxcb

Install libxcb by running the following commands: 

./configure $XORG_CONFIG      \
            --without-doxygen \
            --docdir='${datadir}'/doc/libxcb-1.17.0 &&

make

To test the results, issue: make check.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

If the package was built as a non-root user, the installed documentation is now owned by this user. As the root user, fix the ownership: 

chown -Rv root:root /usr/share/doc/libxcb-1.17.0

lib32 Installation of libxcb

Install lib32-libxcb by running the following commands: 

make distclean &&
CC="gcc -m32" CXX="g++ -m32" PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib32/pkgconfig \
./configure $XORG_CONFIG --libdir=/usr/lib32 &&
make

Now, as the root user: 

make DESTDIR=$PWD/DESTDIR install                      &&
cp -vr DESTDIR/usr/lib32/* /usr/lib32                  &&
rm -rf DESTDIR                                         &&
ldconfig

Command Explanations

[Note]

Note

Run ./configure --help for a full list of options.

--without-doxygen: Do not use doxygen to generate API documentation (default: auto). Without it, if doxygen is installed, the API documentation will be generated and installed.
