To build Openbox from CVS you need:
-A C++ Compiler (GNU GCC/G++ 3.2+ suggested)
-GNU Gettext 0.11.5
+A C Compiler (GNU GCC 3.2+ suggested)
+GNU Gettext
GNU Autoconf 2.50+
-GNU Automake 1.7.1+ (1.7.1 has a bug fix for py-compile)
+GNU Automake 1.6+
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)
-SWIG 1.3.14+ (http://www.swig.org)
+Pkg-Config
I recommend the latest version of all these packages.
% ./configure
% make all install
-When building the SWIG generated wrappers (*_wrap.cc), a huge number of
-compiler warnings will be generated. Don't be phased by this, it doesn't mean
-anything is broken unless you get an actual error.
-
Don't try running it from the src/ directory without installing, it won't work.
It needs to be installed before it is run.
