    <para>
      The <application>libxcb</application> 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.

    <para>
      <parameter>CFLAGS=...</parameter>: This variable fixes building this
      package with GCC-10 and later.
    </para>

    <para>
      <parameter>PYTHON=python3</parameter>: This variable forces configure to
      use python3 instead of python2. The configure script for this package
      will automatically default to python2 if it is present.

    <para>
      <parameter>--without-doxygen</parameter>: Do not use doxygen to
      generate API documentation (default: auto). Without it, if
      <xref linkend="doxygen"/> is installed, the API documentation will be
      generated and installed.
