Emacs doesnʼt use 'xrandr' the executable, it uses the "Xrandr" extension, so the header files and the library need to be available when building Emacs. Check your config.log to see if 'configure' found them. If not, you should try installing the "Xrandr" dev package for your distribution and re-run 'configure'. On Debian the package you need is called 'libxrandr-dev' Robert --
