Beyond the Sky

Fluxbox come with Ubuntu Edgy is the latest one, but it do not support imlib2 by default and it fails to display me information when i do

fluxbox -info

So I recompile the fluxbox and replace it. The fluxbox come with ubuntu edgy repo is installed at /usr/bin and /usr/lib. Fluxbox surce code configure by default is install in /usr/local/bin, do not support imlib2 too, no nls support either.

First I need X header and imlib dev stuff

apt-get install libimlib2-dev xlibs-dev libxrender-dev libxft2-dev

Then configure with nls and imlib support with correct prefix, so it will install at the same place when the current one.

./configure --enable-nls --enable-imlib2 --prefix=/usr

Observered the output of the configure, check whether nls and imlib2 is correct support, will appear at last few lines. Solves any dependencies if configure fail halfway.

Then? simple, make and sudo make install. Thats it!

By the way, this is related but its another topic instead. I am just lazy to add another post, so I put it here.

If you like to edit your menu and key bindings in fluxbox with help of GUI, can check out this page
http://devaux.fabien.free.fr/flux/

It is helpful for beginners, but I prefer edit with vim myself, the key binding support control , alt and shift only, but fluxbox do not restrict you to use any key available on your keyboard.
