Suggestion: Specify exact libxcb package in README.md (ex. correct package on Mint is libxcb-dri2-0-dev) #155

Closed mknepper closed 1 year ago

mknepper commented 1 year ago

There are multiple libxcb libraries on different distros. I had to refer to the compilation errors to find the right libxcb packages (libxcb-dri2-0-dev).

Perhaps update the README.md to include libxcb-dri2 as the requirement.

I do not want to endorse a particular distro. Listing one distro's splitting would do that.

Okay, when attempting to compile without libxcb-dri2-0-dev, it throws an error saying a dependency is missing, explicitly asking for dri2. Only brought it up because it might be confusing to people when they read that it's pure libxcb, and the compiler calls for dri2.

This could be a Debian thing, not sure. Anyway, closing this as it would be too distro-specific to name packages and suggestion endorsement.
