How to get X11/xxx for compile

[MooseOnTheLoose]

Some of my source code uses
#include <X11/Xlib.h>
#include <X11/Xutil.h>
gcc complains that these are not found.
How do I get those to be available to compile?

probably something like libx11-dev in the repos (stab in the dark though).

I think the command apt search can be used to get the correct package name (e.g. apt search Xlib.h).

Close:
sudo apt install libx11-dev

did get it for me
Now I have an unrelated problem for another question perhaps this weekend

Seems I was spot on with the package name.
