Dogcows Code - chaz/openbox/blob - README.CVS

   1 To build Openbox from CVS you need:
   2
   3 A C++ Compiler (GNU GCC/G++ 3.2+ suggested, 2.9x is not supported as it is not
   4                 very compliant with the ISO C++ standards)
   5 GNU Gettext 0.11.5
   6 GNU Autoconf 2.50+
   7 GNU Automake 1.7.1+ (1.7.1 has a bug fix for py-compile)
   8 GNU Libtool
   9 Xft2 library/headers (devel package) (http://www.fontconfig.org)
  10 Xlib library/headers (devel package)
  11 Python library/headers (devel package) (http://www.python.org)
  12 SWIG 1.3.14+ (http://www.swig.org)
  13
  14 I recommend the latest version of all these packages.
  15
  16 Do the following to build and install Openbox in CVS:
  17
  18 % ./bootstrap
  19 % ./configure
  20 % make all install
  21
  22 When building the SWIG generated wrappers (*_wrap.cc), a huge number of
  23 compiler warnings will be generated. Don't be phased by this, it doesn't mean
  24 anything is broken unless you get an actual error.
  25
  26 Don't try running it from the src/ directory without installing, it won't work.
  27 It needs to be installed before it is run.
  28
  29 The installed binary is 'openbox3'.
