# libxcb-1.13.1

## 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.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-8.4 platform.

## Installation of libxcb

Install libxcb by running the following commands:

    sed -i "s/pthread-stubs//" configure &&

    ./configure $XORG_CONFIG      \
                --without-doxygen \
                --docdir='${datadir}'/doc/libxcb-1.13.1 &&
    make

To test the results, issue: make check.

Now, as the `root` user:

    make install

## Command Explanations

sed "s/pthread-stubs//" -i configure: This sed removes a dependency on the libpthread-stubs package which is useless on Linux.

`--without-doxygen`: Do not use doxygen to generate API documentation (default: auto). Without it, if Doxygen-1.8.15 is installed, the API documentation will be generated and installed.
