Hi,

I moved this here from 'C++ development' as xcb isn't part of wxWidgets. Asking in a Linux forum might have been better, though.

Looking with synaptic in ubuntu wily, which is similar to mint, it looks as if you need to install the libxcb1-dev package.

Regards,

David

wxWidgets uses Xlib or other low-level library in Linux?

Wherever possible, wxWidgets uses the native toolkit for each platform. On Linux that means gtk.

So wxWidgets itself won't directly use xcb or xlib etc. Instead it is a decision for gtk, of perhaps for each distro.
