Installation

Compiling source code

Runtime dependencies are Qt X11 Extras (although libfm-qt works under Wayland too) and menu-cache (not all libfm features are provided by libfm-qt yet).
Additional build dependencies are CMake, lxqt-build-tools,lxqt-menu-data and, optionally, Git for pulling latest VCS checkouts.

Code configuration is handled by CMake. CMake variable CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX has to be set to /usr on most operating systems. Depending on the way library paths are dealt with on 64bit systems, variables like CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR may have to be set as well.

To build run make, to install make install, which accepts variable DESTDIR as usual.
