Introduction to xorgproto

The xorgproto package provides the header files required to build the X Window system, and to allow other applications to build against the installed X Window system.

[Note]

Note

Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if LFS or dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the books.
