[Xcb] another "no rule to make target `xproto.c'"

[Alex A. Schmidt]

Hello Josh,

Thanks for the reply and yes, I do use GNU make (3.80). 

Well, it turns out that my problem with xproto.c was something 
else after all. A "make clean" or "make distclean" in the libxcb-0.9 
directory actually erases xcb_types.c, xcb_types.h, xproto.c and 
xproto.h files in the src sub-directoty!! I have tested this again
from scratch and it does happen. Is this a gnu make bug or
just a problem with the libxcb-0.9 Makefiles ?

So, I was missing the xproto.c file from the beginning. Not any more.
lixcb-0.9 compiled just fine, although I did have to replace 
"#include <stdint.h>" by "#include <inttypes.h>" in src/xcb.h file
to make it work in my solaris-2.7.

Cheers,

Alex
