Back to [[Xorg7/Protocol_Headers|Protocol Headers]]

{{Package-Introduction|There are forty-four libraries. Similar to the protocols, using wget and appending a *.bz2 or *.gz to the base URL above is probably the most efficient way to get the tarballs on your system.

Alternately, if you chose to use subdirectories, the tarballs can be retrieved as follows. This will prevent multiple versions from being downloaded when multiple versions exist. The patches are required when crosscompiling.

wget [[Media:Lib-{{Xorg7-Version}}.wget|http://cblfs.cross-lfs.org/images/5/5f/Lib-{{Xorg7-Version}}.wget]] &&
cd lib &&
wget -B {{Xorg7-Mirror}}/lib/ -i ../Lib-{{Xorg7-Version}}.wget}}

== Dependencies ==

The X.org libraries require their respective protocols to be installed first. Although not necessary, it is recommended that all of the protocol headers are installed before the libraries.

There are some dependency orders in the libraries. xtrans, Xau, Xdmcp must be installed before anything else. libXext must be installed before any other extension library. The list following is a successful build order for the Xorg libraries. Assuming all of the protocol headers were previously installed, additional dependencies, if they exist, are listed.

== Semi-Automated Build ==

These automated build instructions assume that you are using subdirectories as discussed in the introduction. You must also have an unaltered copy of Lib-{{Xorg7-Version}}.wget in the main working directory (xc). This file lists each library in an order that ensures dependencies are satisfied.

After entering the lib subdirectory and downloading the tarballs, unpack the packages:

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

=== Non-Multilib ===

Build and install each library:

for dir in `sed "s/.tar.bz2//g" ../Lib-{{Xorg7-Version}}.wget`; do
cd ${dir} &&
./configure $XORG_CONFIG &&
make &&
make install &&
cd ..;
done

=== Multilib ===

Build and install each library:

for dir in `sed "s/.tar.bz2//g" ../Lib-{{Xorg7-Version}}.wget`; do
cd ${dir} &&
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH32}" CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" CXX="g++ ${BUILD32}" \

Each Xorg library installs one or more set of libraries (*.so,la,a) files. Rather than listing all of the files installed, a listing of the 44 library packages and a short description of each follows. For the interested party, a link to a list of the directories, programs, and libraries installed by all Xorg-7.1 library packages is also provided. The 44 library packages, listed in build order, with a short description are:
