xlibre-input-libinput and xlibre-xserver are interdependent. For the initial building and installing, an xlibre-xserver bootstrap package is available. For the correct procedure check https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xlibre-xserver#comment-1037485
An alternative is to use the repository provided by XLibre, as documented in https://x11libre.net/repo/arch_based/x86_64/README.md
The commit 3bd377824b50 added xlibre-xserver as a circular dependency which causes everything not to install.
Can someone explain why this circular dependency was added in this commit? Removing it is the only way to fix this.
What I had to do was:
(I also re-installed the server after that 1 more time just in case)
This does not work, it always tells about missing dependency of xlibre-xserver.
Yes I followed the instructions, this thing just does not work.

Why the changes in the build() function from 25.0.0-6 to 25.0.0-7? It builds and runs just fine here without those settings!
@btak, did you follow the installation guide I have written in the comments of xlibre-server?
Got an error installing.

@reaperx7, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xlibre-input-evdev
@guiodic, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xlibre-input-synaptics (also see its comments)
I think it would also be useful to have xf86-input-synaptics-xlibre
Doesn't detect the middle button of some mice. evdev should possibly be rebuild for xlibre as well.
