## Introduction to XKeyboard-Config

The XKeyboard-Config package contains the keyboard configuration database for the X Window System.

- Download: https://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/data/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config-2.46.tar.xz

### XKeyboard-Config Dependencies

Required
Xorg Libraries

## Installation of XKeyboard-Config

Install XKeyboard-Config by running the following commands:

    mkdir build &&
    cd    build &&

    meson setup --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release .. &&

    ninja

### Important

If upgrading from version 2.44 or earlier, the installation will fail if some files are not symbolic links. To fix this, run as the `root` user:

    if [ -d /usr/share/X11/xkb ]; then
      rm -rf /usr/share/X11/xkb
      rm -f  /usr/share/man/man7/xkeyboard-config.7
      rm -f  /usr/share/pkgconfig/xkeyboard-config.pc
    fi

Now, as the `root` user:

    ninja install

## Command Explanations

### Note

Inspect `meson_options.txt` or `meson.options` for a full list of options.

`--buildtype=release`: Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
