How to get xcb/xcb_icccm.h

Question

I am trying to build bspwm, how do I get that dependency? I already have xcb installed. I'm on Ubuntu 21.04, the error message is

cc -std=c99 -pedantic -Wall -Wextra -DJSMN_STRICT -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809L -DVERSION=\"0.9.10-33-ge22d0fa\"  -c -o bspwm.o src/bspwm.c
In file included from src/bspwm.c:39:

You install libxcb-icccm4-dev, since it is the package that contains the file — steeldriver, Aug 22 '21 at 00:16
Thanks it worked. Now it says I need xcb/randr.h. I did dpkg -S randr.h and installed x11proto-dev and libxrandr-dev but it still says I need xcb/randr.h. — antoine, Aug 22 '21 at 00:41
dpkg -S only searches packages that are already installed on your system - for files you don't have, you need to use the online package search or install and use apt-file. In this case, it looks like you need libxcb-randr0-dev — steeldriver, Aug 22 '21 at 00:57

Usually I use the followying way to search a file in all entire repositories:

$ sudo apt install apt-file
$ sudo apt-file update
$ apt-file search xcb/xcb_icccm.h
libxcb-icccm4-dev: /usr/include/xcb/xcb_icccm.h

Or use online search at packages.ubuntu.com.
