Now that we can actually configure all of the directories xkb uses for finding things, we can (finally, but only with meson) finally make it so that with the correct meson configuration the Xserver will "just work" without any additional changes to the installation prefix after building. For the people like me who have since scripted this part out of their build process and forgotten about it, building and installing the X server into a non-standard prefix has always required the following (or something else that makes sure that X has a valid xkbcomp configuration) commands be run right after doing the installation: # start in root of prefix you installed X to mkdir -pv share/X11/xkb/rules ln -s /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev share/X11/xkb/rules/ rm -f bin/xkbcomp ln -s /usr/bin/xkbcomp bin/ The one last piece of getting rid of this post-install junk is making sure that we can control the directory that X uses for finding the xkbcomp binary from meson so we can point it at the system provided xkbcomp (/usr/bin/xkbcomp or similar). So, this patch adds a configuration option for controlling this called xkb_bin_dir.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.
