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
+GNU Automake 1.7+
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)
-
-Optional:
-SWIG 1.3.17+ (http://www.swig.org)
- *** If you don't want to get swig, thats fine, unless you're going to be
- *** editing stuff.
- *** Without SWIG, before you build CVS _every time you update_ you need to:
- ***
- *** % touch src/openbox.i
- *** % touch src/openbox_wrap.cc
- ***
- *** This is because of how CVS deals with timestamps.
+Pkg-Config
+Glib 2.0+ library/headers (devel package) (http://www.gtk.org)
+libxml2 2.0+ library/headers (devel package)
+libGL library/headers (devel package, mesa or otherwise)
+Optionally, if you want to build the configuration tool (this is recommended):
+GTK+ 2.0+ library/headers (devel package) (http://www.gtk.org)
+libglade 2.0+ library/headers (devel package) (http://www.gnome.org)
I recommend the latest version of all these packages.
+
+Do the following to build and install Openbox in CVS:
+
+% ./bootstrap
+% ./configure
+% make all install
+
+Don't try running it from the src/ directory without installing, it won't work.
+It needs to be installed before it is run.
+
+The installed binary is 'openbox3'.
+
+
+

+In debian unstable, you want these packages:
+gcc
+gettext
+automake1.7
+autoconf
+libtool
+bison
+flex
+libxft2-dev
+pkg-config
+libglib2.0-dev
+libxml2-dev
+xlibmesa-dev
+
+optionally:
+libgtk2.0-dev
+libglade2-dev
