you'll need the libraries (lib) on each machine you want to run apps.
you'll need the server (xserver) and the drivers (driver) on the machine 
that actually displays stuff. which drivers you actually need depends on 
your hardware setup.

you'll need the protocol headers (proto) for both.

there are some other dependencies (extras/xcb for example), you'll find 
them as you go :)
