Try apt install libx11-dev, there is a dependency on X11 because of USD.

Either is possible, using Blender is generally going to be easier since it comes with a Python API and all the Blender functionality to import or create scenes.

thank you, brecht ! I try your cmd and success build.
apt install libx11-dev
use the cmd next and success render a monkey img !
./cycles --samples 10 --output ./image01.png ../examples/scene_monkey.xml
I wonder , does it support usd file rendering ? like bellow
./cycles --samples 100 --output ./image02.png ../examples/ufo.usdc
./cycles --samples 100 --output ./image02.png ../examples/ufo.usd
and it work ! the usdc file export from blender
