-You need the following libraries. The version given is to be understood as the
-minimum version required. However, if any of these libraries changes the API,
-i3 may not compile anymore. In that case, please try using the versions
-mentioned below until a fix is provided.
-
- * xcb-proto-1.3 (2008-12-10)
- * libxcb-1.1.93 (2008-12-11)
- * xcb-util-0.3.3 (2009-01-31)
- * libev
- * flex and bison
- * yajl (the IPC interface uses JSON to serialize data)
- * asciidoc >= 8.3.0 for docs/hacking-howto
- * asciidoc, xmlto, docbook-xml for man/i3.man
- * libxcursor
- * Xlib, the one that comes with your X-Server
- * x11-utils for xmessage (only for displaying the welcome message, so this is
- mainly interesting for distributors)
-
-Recommendations:
- * i3lock for locking your screen
- * dmenu for launching applications
-
