--- ## Contributions & Issues Please read [the contribution guide](docs/CONTRIBUTIONS.md) --- ## Features & Configuration Check [the man page markdown for relevant info](docs/sxwm.md) --- ## Dependencies - `libX11` - `Xinerama` - `XCursor` - `CC` - `Make`

Debian / Ubuntu / Linux Mint

sudo apt update
sudo apt install libx11-dev libxcursor-dev libxinerama-dev build-essential

Arch Linux / Manjaro

sudo pacman -Syy
sudo pacman -S libx11 libxinerama gcc make

Gentoo

sudo emerge --ask x11-libs/libX11 x11-libs/libXinerama sys-devel/gcc sys-devel/make
sudo emaint -a sync

Void Linux

sudo xbps-install -S
sudo xbps-install libX11-devel libXinerama-devel libXcursor-devel gcc make

Fedora / RHEL / AlmaLinux / Rocky

sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install libX11-devel libXcursor-devel libXinerama-devel gcc make

OpenSUSE (Leap / Tumbleweed)

sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper install libX11-devel libXinerama-devel gcc make

Alpine Linux

doas apk update
doas apk add libx11-dev libxinerama-dev libxcursor-dev gcc make musl-dev linux-headers

NixOS

buildInputs = [
  pkgs.xorg.libX11
  pkgs.xorg.libXinerama
  pkgs.libgcc
  pkgs.gnumake
];
sudo nixos-rebuild switch

Slackware

slackpkg update
slackpkg install gcc make libX11 libXinerama

OpenBSD

doas pkg_add gmake

You will also need the X sets (xbase, xfonts, xserv and xshare) installed. When you make the code, use gmake instead of make (which will be BSD make). Use the following command to build: gmake CFLAGS="-I/usr/X11R6/include -Wall -Wextra -O3 -Isrc" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lXinerama -lXcursor"

FreeBSD

# If you use doas or su instead of sudo, modify the following commands accordingly.
sudo pkg update
sudo pkg install gcc gmake libX11 libXinerama

Termux

pkg install x11-repo
pkg update
pkg install clang make xcb-util-keysyms xorgproto libxcursor libx11 libxinerama libandroid-wordexp
# add `LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -landroid-wordexp"` in the make command
