To build Openbox from CVS you need:
A C Compiler (GNU GCC 3.2+ suggested)
-GNU Gettext
+GNU Gettext 0.12.1
GNU Autoconf 2.50+
GNU Automake 1.7+
GNU Libtool
Glib 2.0+ library/headers (devel package) (http://www.gtk.org)
libxml2 2.0+ library/headers (devel package)
-Optionally, if you want to build the configuration tool (this is recommended):
-GTK+ 2.0+ library/headers (devel package) (http://www.gtk.org)
-
I recommend the latest version of all these packages.
Do the following to build and install Openbox in CVS:
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'.
+The installed binary is 'openbox'.
