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. Note that across different distributions, the development package names will differ. The names listed below are examples to help you find the appropriately named package for the system in use.

Core dependencies

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

Optional dependencies

  • asciidoctor
  • libfontconfig-dev
  • libfreetype6-dev
  • libfribidi-dev
  • libncurses5-dev
  • libpng-dev
  • libreadline-dev
  • librsvg-dev
  • libsm-dev
  • libxcursor-dev
  • libxext-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.
