= INSTALL for Fluxbox
|
|
|
|
== TL;DR Instructions
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
and then as root
|
|
|
|
$ make install
|
|
|
|
== Compilation and Installation
|
|
|
|
The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
|
|
various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses
|
|
those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory in the
|
|
Fluxbox source tree.
|
|
|
|
Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that you can run
|
|
in the future to recreate the current configuration, a file
|
|
`config.cache' that saves the results of its tests to speed up
|
|
reconfiguring, and a file `config.log' containing compiler output
|
|
(useful mainly for debugging `configure').
|
|
|
|
If you need to do unusual things to compile Fluxbox, please try
|
|
to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail
|
|
diffs or instructions to fluxbox-developers list (see www.fluxbox.org)
|
|
so they can be considered for the next release. If at some point
|
|
`config.cache' contains results you don't want to keep, you may remove
|
|
or edit it.
|
|
|
|
The file `configure.in' is used to create `configure' by a program
|
|
called `autoconf'. You only need `configure.in' if you want to change
|
|
it or regenerate `configure' using a newer version of `autoconf'.
|
|
|
|
The simplest way to compile this package is:
|
|
|
|
1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
|
|
`./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're
|
|
using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
|
|
`sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
|
|
`configure' itself.
|
|
|
|
Running `configure' takes awhile. While running, it prints some
|
|
messages telling which features it is checking for.
|
|
|
|
2. Type `make' to compile the package.
|
|
|
|
3. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
|
|
documentation.
|
|
|
|
4. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
|
|
source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the
|
|
files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for
|
|
a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
== Compilers and Options
|
|
|
|
Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that
|
|
the `configure' script does not know about. You can give `configure'
|
|
initial values for variables by setting them in the environment. Using
|
|
a Bourne-compatible shell, you can do that on the command line like
|
|
this:
|
|
CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix ./configure
|
|
|
|
Or on systems that have the `env' program, you can do it like this:
|
|
env CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-s ./configure
|
|
|
|
=== Cross-Compiler for Microsoft Windows:
|
|
|
|
You'll want mingw-cross-env installed, with libX11 and mingw-catgets built.
|
|
A configure line that works is:
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure \
|
|
--prefix=/ \
|
|
--host=i686-pc-mingw32 \
|
|
--disable-imlib2 \
|
|
--disable-xmb \
|
|
--disable-slit \
|
|
--disable-remember \
|
|
--disable-toolbar \
|
|
--disable-fribidi \
|
|
--disable-nls \
|
|
--disable-xft \
|
|
LIBS="-lxcb -lXdmcp -lXau -lpthread -lws2_32"
|
|
|
|
Then, build and install with
|
|
|
|
$ make install DESTDIR=$(pwd)/stage
|
|
|
|
You can then copy the whole "stage" directory to a Windows machine and
|
|
run it on your choice of X server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
== Optional Features
|
|
|
|
Fluxbox supports the XShape extension of X11R6. This support is enabled by
|
|
default, but may be overridden by specifying `--disable-shape' on the configure
|
|
script's command line.
|
|
|
|
Fluxbox supports Window Maker dockapps (warning: restarts from wmaker to
|
|
fluxbox don't always handle dockapps correctly) with a gadget called the Slit.
|
|
The Slit is compiled into Fluxbox by default, but may be overridden by
|
|
specifying `--disable-slit' on the configure script's command line.
|
|
|
|
Fluxbox supports a rendering effect called "faked interlacing" which darkens
|
|
every other line in rendered images. This support works only for gradient
|
|
images. It is compiled in by default, but may be overridden by specifying
|
|
`--disable-interlace' on the configure script's command line.
|
|
|
|
Fluxbox uses a timer which allows it to periodically flush its pixmap
|
|
cache. It is enabled by default, but may be overridden by specifying
|
|
'--disable-timed-cache' on the configure script's command line.
|
|
|
|
Also, `configure' can usually find the X include and library files
|
|
automatically, but if it doesn't, you can use the `configure'
|
|
options `--x-includes=DIR' and `--x-libraries=DIR' to specify
|
|
their locations.
