I'm setting up Ubuntu 7.10 to build JDK, and I'm looking at the info

There isn't a section for 7.10, but 7.04 comes pretty close. The only
issue
is the xlibs-dev package. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix
this?

Package xlibs-dev is not available, but is referred to by another
package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package xlibs-dev has no installation candidate
Jon,
Compiles on 7.10 work pretty readily but you have to get the right X
libraries installed. Compiles on 7.10 is even easier because the GCC
version on 7.10 doesn't complain about the string casts in Hotspot which
the GCC version on 8.04 complains about.
That package existed to cause inclusion of a slew of X libraries &
headers.
I thought there was still a package for this purpose, but I cannot find
it (on 8.04)
On 8.04 I have these libraries installed:-
libx11-dev
libx11-xcb-dev
libxau-dev
libxcb1-dev
libxcb-xlib0-dev
libxdmcp-dev
libxext-dev
The ones with xcb in their name probably do not exist on 7.10
