To build Openbox from CVS you need:
A C Compiler (GNU GCC 3.2+ suggested)
-GNU Gettext 0.11.5
+GNU Gettext
GNU Autoconf 2.50+
-GNU Automake 1.7.1+ (1.7.1 has a bug fix for py-compile)
GNU Libtool
+GNU Bison 1.875+
+GNU Flex
Xft2 library/headers (devel package) (http://www.fontconfig.org)
Xlib library/headers (devel package)
-Python library/headers (devel package) (http://www.python.org)
Pkg-Config
I recommend the latest version of all these packages.
Here's the packages from Debian (sid):
gcc
gettext
- automake1.7
autoconf
libtool
- pkg-config
+ bison
+ flex
libxft2-dev
- python-dev
+ pkg-config
