"doxygen" (for generating the documentation) and Xvfb Xorg-Server-21.1.21 or Xwayland-24.1.9)

Prepare libxkbcommon by running the following commands:

meson setup build          \
      --prefix=/usr        \
      --buildtype=release  \
      -D enable-docs=false

ninja -C build

To test the results, ensure Xvfb and xkeyboard-config are available, then issue:

ninja -C build test

Now Install, as the root user:

ninja -C build install

-D enable-docs=true: This switch enables documentation generation. "doxygen" is required.

mv -v /usr/share/doc/libxkbcommon{,-1.13.0}: If you built the documentation, use this command to install it in a versioned directory.
