1 To build Openbox from CVS you need:
3 A C++ Compiler (GNU GCC/G++ 3.2+ suggested)
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)
13 SWIG 1.3.17+ (http://www.swig.org)
14 *** If you don't want to get swig, thats fine, unless you're going to be
16 *** Without SWIG, before you build CVS _every time you update_ you need to:
18 *** % touch src/openbox.i
19 *** % touch src/openbox_wrap.cc
21 *** This is because of how CVS deals with timestamps.
24 I recommend the latest version of all these packages.
26 Do the following to build and install Openbox in CVS:
30 <optional touch commands from above if you don't have SWIG>
33 Don't try building it and running it from the src/ directory, it won't work. It
34 needs to be installed.
36 The installed binary is 'openbox3'.
