libxt

brew install libxt v1.3.1 MIT

X.Org X Toolkit Intrinsics shared library for building X11 widget-based applications.

Why you might care

libxt provides the core API for creating portable X11 GUIs with reusable widgets and resource management. It's a foundational dependency for classic X11 toolkits and applications that need standardized widget behavior; most modern Linux systems only need it if building legacy X11 apps or as a transitive dependency of older GUI frameworks.
