Chapter 24. X Window System Environment

xorgproto-2020.1

Introduction to xorgproto

The xorgproto package provides the header files required to build the X Window system, and to allow other applications to build against the installed X Window system.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-10.0 platform.

Package Information

xorgproto Dependencies

Required

Installation of xorgproto

Install xorgproto by running the following commands: 

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

meson --prefix=$XORG_PREFIX -Dlegacy=true .. &&
ninja

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

ninja install &&

install -vdm 755 $XORG_PREFIX/share/doc/xorgproto-2020.1 &&
install -vm 644 ../[^m]*.txt ../PM_spec $XORG_PREFIX/share/doc/xorgproto-2020.1

Command Explanations

install -vm 644 ../[^m]*.txt ../PM_spec ...: The meson build system does not install the text files into /usr/share/doc. The [^m] part prevents copying the meson_options.txt file.

-Dlegacy=true: Installs legacy headers needed by old programs (such as LessTif).
