To build Openbox from CVS you need:
A C++ Compiler (GNU GCC/G++ 3.2+ suggested)
GNU Gettext 0.11.5
GNU Autoconf 2.50+
GNU Automake 1.7.1+ (1.7.1 has a bug fix for py-compile)
GNU Libtool
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)
I recommend the latest version of all these packages.
Do the following to build and install Openbox in CVS:
% ./bootstrap
% ./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.
The installed binary is 'openbox3'.
