X Window system.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS 11.3
platform.
Package Information
Xorg Server Dependencies
Required
libxcvt-0.1.2, Pixman-0.42.2,
Xorg
Fonts (only font-util), and at runtime: xkeyboard-config-2.38
Recommended

(needed for glamor), libtirpc-1.3.3, Polkit-122 (runtime), and Xorg Libinput-1.2.1 (runtime)
Optional

Installation of Xorg Server
Install the server by running the following commands:
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
meson --prefix=$XORG_PREFIX \
--localstatedir=/var \
-Dsuid_wrapper=true \
-Dxkb_output_dir=/var/lib/xkb &&
ninja
To test the results, issue: ninja
test. You will need to run ldconfig as the root user first or some tests may fail.
Now as the root user:
ninja install &&
mkdir -pv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d &&
cat >> /etc/sysconfig/createfiles << "EOF"
/tmp/.ICE-unix dir 1777 root root
/tmp/.X11-unix dir 1777 root root
EOF
Command Explanations
-Dsuid_wrapper=true: Builds
the suid-root wrapper for legacy driver support on rootless xserver
systems.
-Dsystemd_logind=false: This switch
disables elogind integration, allowing
Xorg Server to work without having the PAM module configured.
cat >>
/etc/sysconfig/createfiles...: This command creates
the /tmp/.ICE-unix and /tmp/.X11-unix directories at startup, and
ensures that the permissions and ownership are correct as required
by the server.
-Dxephyr=true: This option allows
building Xephyr if its dependencies are met.
