resolved it by installing the following packages: xcb-util libxcb-util-dev libxcb-util1

I don't actually know for sure which one is needed, I just grabbed 'em all

Thank you for reporting!

I completely forgot to mention these dependencies in README. According to xcb-imdkit repo, it depends on libxcb, xcb-util, and xcb-util-keysym.

I was able to build vime with Ubuntu 20.04 (docker container) after installing the following packages:

• libxcb1-dev
• libxcb-util-dev
• libxcb-keysyms1-dev
• build-essential
• pkg-config
• cmake
• git
• curl
• rustup (manually)
