Installation

General

The most recent code can be pulled from git. The included Makefile will use any PREFIX or DESTDIR variables passed to it for installation. The default's are shown below but `sudo make install` would be sufficient to use these defaults.

Alopex depends on libxinerama and cairo and all of their dependencies. If you are using a distro that splits development packages, you'll need the *-dev libraries as well in order to build alopex. 

git clone http://github.com/TrilbyWhite/alopex.git
cd alopex
make
sudo make PREFIX=/usr DESTDIR=/ install

Arch Linux

The PKGBUILD in the AUR is for version 2.0. Version 4.0 will be uploaded after a bit more testing. For now, the following package build will get the most up to date code.

Other Distros

I will happily host any build scripts for other distros if/when they are submitted to the email address below.
