Installation Instructions

FVWM3 uses automake and autotools as its build process.

Dependencies

Docker

The fvwm3 repository has a Dockerfile which can be used to build the repository. This is the same Docker image as used by Github Actions.

Manually

FVWM3 has the following dependencies.

Core dependencies

  • libevent-dev (>= 2.0)
  • libx11-dev
  • libxrandr-dev (>= 1.5)
  • libxrender-dev
  • libxt-dev

Optional dependencies

  • asciidoctor
  • libfontconfig-dev
  • libfreetype6-dev
  • libfribidi-dev
  • libncurses5-dev
  • libpng-dev
  • libreadline-dev
  • librsvg-dev
  • libsm-dev
  • libxcursor-dev
  • libxext-dev
  • libxft-dev
  • libxi-dev
  • libxpm-dev
  • sharutils

Generating documentation

To generate fvwm3's documentation:

  1. Install asciidoctor
  2. Pass --enable-mandoc to ./configure (see below)

fvwm3 won't compile documentation by default, so it's opt-in.

Installing From Git

FVWM3 has a bootstrap script to generate configure and associated files. Run the following command chain to generate the configure script and build the project:

./autogen.sh && ./configure && make

Installing From Release Tarball

Release tarballs will come bundled with ./configure already, hence:

./configure && make

As with most things, if the default options ./configure chooses isn't appropriate for your needs, see ./configure --help for appropriate options.
