xcb-studies/README.md

WHAT:

This is an attempt to write a simple iteration of XRandR using XCB and C++.

WHY:

I'm not familiar enough with this ecosystem to be useful in it, and I need to start getting some familiarity with it before I start hacking a Rust project that needs XCB/XRandR capability.

REQURIEMENTS:

This code has been tested with gcc-7.3, and should work on any C++17-compliant compiler with the relevant standard library, and obviously X Windows.

STATUS:

In progress.

DETAILS:

BUILDING:

From the base directory of the project:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
