Introduction to Xorg7/Protocol Headers

There are thirty-two protocol headers. Note that the download source, above is the base URL. Each could be downloaded individually, but it is probably easiest to use wget and append either *.bz2 or *.gz to the base URL to pull them all down to your system.

Alternately, if you chose to use subdirectories, the tarballs can be retrieved as follows. This will prevent multiple version from being downloaded when multiple version exist.

wget http://cblfs.cross-lfs.org/images/e/ea/Proto-20101205.wget &&
cd proto &&
wget -B http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/proto/ -i ../Proto-20101205.wget

Dependencies

Required

• pkg-config

There is no build order dependency for the protocols.

Non-Multilib

Install each protocol:

./configure $XORG_CONFIG &&
make install

Multilib

32Bit

Install each protocol:

./configure $XORG_CONFIG32 &&
make install

N32

Install each protocol:

./configure $XORG_CONFIGN32 &&
make install

64Bit

Install each protocol:

./configure $XORG_CONFIG64 &&
make install

Semi-Automated Build

Unpack the protocol header packages:

for i in *.tar.bz2; do
  tar xvf $i;
done

Install the protocol headers:

for dir in `find . -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type d`; do
  cd $dir &&
  PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH32}" ./configure $XORG_CONFIG32 &&
  make install &&
  make clean &&
  PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64}" ./configure $XORG_CONFIG64 &&
  make install
  cd ..;
done

Next install the Utilities.

Each Xorg protocol installs one or more header (*.h) files. Rather than listing all of the files installed, a listing of the 32 protocol packages and a short description of each follows. For the interested party, a link to a list of the directories and headers installed by all Xorg-7.1 protocol packages is also provided. The 32 protocol packages, listed in alphabetical order, with a short description are:
