1 To build Openbox from git you need:
3 A C Compiler (GNU GCC 3.2+ suggested)
6 GNU Automake 1.9 (no more, no less)
8 Xlib library/headers (devel package)
10 Glib 2.0+ library/headers (devel package) (http://www.gtk.org)
11 libxml2 2.0+ library/headers (devel package)
12 Pango 1.10+ library/headers (devel package)
13 cvs or git or neither, depending on how gettext was installed*
14 Imlib2 library/headers (devel package)
16 Optionally you may want:
17 X Cursor library/headers (devel package)
18 Startup Notification library/headers 0.8+ (devel package)
20 We recommend the latest versions of all these packages.
22 *) for versions below 0.18.1 cvs is needed, above that, see autopoint --version
24 Do the following to build and install Openbox in git:
34 Don't try running it from the openbox/ directory without installing, it won't work.
35 It needs to be installed before it is run.
37 The following commands will be available: openbox-session,
38 openbox-gnome-session, openbox-kde-session, and openbox.
40 See the man pages for details about them. If you want to run Openbox on its
41 own, you probably want to run "openbox-session".
46 In Ubuntu, you want these packages:
57 libstartup-notification0-dev
