When building xserver with slibtool (https://dev.midipix.org/cross/slibtool) the build will fail. /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldmxconfig This is because xserver creates libdmxconfig.a internally and then links with the linker flag -ldmxconfig. However according to automake documentation the -lfoo linker flags should only be used for external dependencies and all internal libraries should be linked with the libtool archive file (.la) or the static archive (.a) when the former is not available. GNU libtool is far more permissive and happens to silently obscure this issue while slibtool fails because it instead sees '-L./.libs -ldmxconfig'.
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.
