# Installation guide
## DEPENDENCY
### For building:
* C compiler that supports the c99 standard. (gcc or clang)
* make
* autoconf
* automake
### External libraries
* libxinerama
* libxft
* libpango
* libx11
* libxdg-basedir
### Optional:
* For i3 support, you need at least i3 version 4.5 or up.
## 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
```
