1 To build Openbox from CVS you need:
3 A C++ Compiler (GNU GCC/G++ 3.2+ suggested)
6 GNU Automake 1.7.1+ (1.7.1 has a bug fix for py-compile)
8 Xft2 library/headers (devel package) (http://www.fontconfig.org)
9 Xlib library/headers (devel package)
10 Python library/headers (devel package) (http://www.python.org)
11 SWIG 1.3.14+ (http://www.swig.org)
13 I recommend the latest version of all these packages.
15 Do the following to build and install Openbox in CVS:
21 When building the SWIG generated wrappers (*_wrap.cc), a huge number of
22 compiler warnings will be generated. Don't be phased by this, it doesn't mean
23 anything is broken unless you get an actual error.
25 Don't try running it from the src/ directory without installing, it won't work.
26 It needs to be installed before it is run.
28 The installed binary is 'openbox3'.
33 Here's the packages from Debian (sid):
