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+ (<= 1.4 confirmed to not work) 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 1.3.17+ (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'. ---- Here's the packages from Debian (sid): g++ gettext automake1.7 autoconf libtool libxft2-dev python-dev swig1.3 ---- Check out the Wiki for how to configure Openbox 3: http://icculus.org/openbox/phpwiki/index.php/PythonScripting |
