As noted before, there are a few external dependencies for Xorg-7.2 which aren't in the book right now. I'm wondering how to organize them. Here's the list.
libpthread-stubs: A dependency of libxcb. Basically, just a set of stubs for pthread functions to provide portability across different platforms. On glibc-2.5, this is just a pkgconfig file. xcb-proto: XCB protocol headers. libxcb: The actual libraries for XCB. Very few applications use XCB directly. The main use is to in the old Xlib (libX11). Depends on libXau and libXdmcp in addition to the two above. xcb-util: Some additional xcb modules. Cairo uses xcb-render-util in it's XCB backend. Requires (might be optional, haven't checked in a while) gperf[1] in addition to libxcb. Nothing uses the cairo xcb backend right now, so this might be overkill. xkeyboard-config: Replaces xkbdata. This could actually be used in any X11 window system, although I've never tried it. I imagine anyone here is just going to use it with Xorg-7. I'm initially leaning towards stuffing them all in the Xorg chapter. X Libraries may be better, though. That's where Mesa is. I don't know about libpthread-stubs.
