In my previous work I just compiled nxcomp with x11proto-core-dev like you
did. And then nxagent didn't compile with the resulting nxcomp.

x11proto-core-dev and nx11proto-core-dev are almost the same. The only
difference is on Xpoll.h.in. Look at the difference:

I just can tell that this is the magic nomachine did to make nxagent work.

If you take a look at nx-X11 source, you will notice that is xorg 6.9 + some
files called *.NX.original and *.X.original.
Ex: Xpoll.h.in.X.original is the one that came with xorg 6.9. And
Xpoll.h.in.NX.original is the same as Xpoll.h.in.

Every file that nomachine changes they create a .X.original and
.NX.original. Don't know why but there is some magic with the new Xpoll.h.in=).
Xorg 6.9 and Xorg 7.0 are the same. One is modular the other not. So I took
x11-proto-core from Xorg 7.0 and applied the diff from nx-X11 source.

Marcelo.
