+The @ref tools provide commandline features as well as graphical debugging
+features. To keep dependencies in check on some builds, the graphical
+features of the @ref tools can be disabled. By default, the `debug-gui`
+feature of the `libinput` tool is enabled and if the required libraries are
+not available, the build will fail. If the feature is not required, use the
+``--disable-debug-gui`` argument when @ref building.
