Xlib can also use XCB as a transport layer, allowing software to make requests and receive responses with both. Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &libxcb-md5sum; Download size: &libxcb-size; Estimated disk space required: &libxcb-buildsize; Estimated build time: &libxcb-time; libxcb Dependencies Required , , , , and Optional (to generate API documentation) and Check (to run tests) User Notes: Install libxcb by running the following commands: ./configure $XORG_CONFIG --docdir='${datadir}'/doc/libxcb-&libxcb-version; && make To test the results, issue: make check. Now, as the root user: make install --docdir='${datadir}'/doc/libxcb-&libxcb-version;: This parameter ensures the libxcb documentation is installed to a versioned directory. --without-doxygen: This switch can be used to disable the API documentation if is installed. The libxcb developers have decided to be strict in asserting locking bugs in X11 applications. This is different than the behavior of libX11 when used on its own, and it will cause some applications to crash when they previously did not. When an application has these types of bugs, it will crash with the following assertion: xcb_xlib_lock: Assertion `!c->xlib.lock' failed. An environment variable, LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK, can be set which will allow the locking bugs to not crash the application. It is a workaround that is known to be needed in a few cases. If it is found that these bugs affect an application in use, add the following to your system or personal profile: export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=1 Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directories None libxcb.{so,a} and libxcb-*.{so,a} $XORG_PREFIX/include/xcb and $XORG_PREFIX/share/doc/libxcb-&libxcb-version; Short Descriptions libxcb.{so,a} is an interface to the X Window System protocol. libxcb.{so,a}
