Installation guide
DEPENDENCY
For building:
- C compiler that supports the c99 standard. (gcc or clang)
- make
- autoconf
- automake
External libraries
- libxinerama
- libxft
- libpango
- libx11
Optional:
- For i3 support, you need at least i3 version 4.5 or up. Make sure that 'i3/ipc.h' is included. If it fails please check config.log.
Install from a release
Check dependencies and configure build system:
./configure
Build Rofi:
make
The actual install, execute as root (if needed):
make install
Install a checkout from git
Generate build system:
autoreconf -i
Create a build directory:
mkdir build
Check dependencies and configure build system:
../configure
Build rofi:
make
The actual install, execute as root (if needed):
make install
Options for configure
When you run the configure step there are several you can configure. (To see the full list type
./configure --help
).
The most useful one to set the installation prefix:
./configure --prefix=<installation path>
f.e.
./configure --prefix=/usr/
Install locally
or to install locally:
./configure --prefix=${HOME}/.local/
I3 workaround
If i3 is installed in a non-standard prefix, point it to the right location using:
CFLAGS="-I/weird/i3/path/include/" ../configure
CFLAGS="-I/weird/i3/path/include/" make
