Xorg 7 ¶

Protocol Headers ¶

• Start a subshell that exits on error so that the loop does not continue on error

  bash -e
  

• Automated build of all packages, simply comment out any packages that you do not want built.

for package in $(grep -v '^#' ../proto-7.3.wget)
do
  packagedir=$(echo $package | sed 's/.tar.bz2//')
  tar -xf $package
  cd $packagedir
  ./configure $XORG_CONFIG
  make install
  cd ..
  rm -rf $packagedir
done 2>&1 | tee -a ../xorg-compile.log

Comments on individual protocols ¶

applewmproto is for the Apple rootless window management extension, and generally considered to only be relevant to OSX.

windowswmproto is for win32.

xproxymanagementprotocol is now deprecated, use e.g. ssh instead, but do not leave it out because several Xorg applications require it.

There is further information on dependencies at ​http://gentoo.linuxhowtos.org/portage/x11-proto - like any wiki it may or may not be accurate.
