Xorg build environment (needed for the instructions below)
libxml2 (required to run the tests)

PYTHON=python3 ./configure $XORG_CONFIG
To test the results, issue: make check.
Now, as the root user:
make install
If you are upgrading from version 1.15.1 or lower, the old

rm -f $XORG_PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig/xcb-proto.pc
$XORG_PREFIX/share/xcb and $XORG_PREFIX/lib/python3.12/site-packages/xcbgen
