Description Jamey Sharp 2006-04-21 06:20:23 UTC

I'd like to be able to build and install extension libraries separately from XCB
itself, with as much of the process of creating *.pc, configure.ac, and
Makefile.am automated as possible.

Almost everything about the libXCB*.so extension libraries is specified by the
corresponding *.xml protocol description file. A few version numbers are also
needed -- an autoconf/pkg-config package version, a libtool .so version, and a
Debian package version. These may be partially derived from the extension
protocol version supported by the .xml file, and from the API/ABI version of the
c-client.xsl stylesheet used; but it's not clear how to combine those versions.

I think XCB should install c-client.xsl, an autoconf macro, and a shell script
that builds the autofoo bits for a particular *.xml extension description.
However the details somewhat elude me.

Jamey Sharp 
Do you still experience this issue with newer drivers ?
Please check the status of your issue.

In hindsight, this is probably the wrong thing to do.
