## Install from a release
|

|
|
Check dependencies and configure build system:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|

|
```
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
```
