Building from source

  1. Install build dependencies. Basic Xlib, Xft, Xrender, Xrandr, libpng, libxpm libraries and uthash macros are required. In Debian or Ubuntu:

    apt install libx11-dev libxmu-dev libxft-dev libxrender-dev libxrandr-dev libpng-dev libxpm-dev uthash-dev

    Maintainer or packager may also install autotools and ronn:

    apt install autoconf automake ronn

  2. Download:

    git clone https://github.com/sagb/alttab.git && cd alttab

  3. Maintainer or packager may want to update autotools stuff and refresh documentation with ronn:

    ./bootstrap.sh

  4. Build:

    ./configure  
make  
make install
make check  # optional

In OpenBSD (as of OpenBSD 7.4 amd64):

  1. Install build dependencies.
    Xlib, Xft, Xrender, Xrandr and libxpm come from xbase file set
    perl is part of base file set.
    In order to install others:

    # may omit autoconf-2.69 as it is pulled in as a dependency of automake-1.16.5
pkg_add git png uthash automake-1.16.5

    If you intend to run make check, then also:

    pkg_add gawk

  2. Download:

    git clone https://github.com/sagb/alttab.git && cd alttab

  3. Update autotools stuff - mandatory step for OpenBSD:

    ./bootstrap.sh -f

  4. Build:

    CPATH=/usr/local/include ./configure --mandir /usr/local/man
CPATH=/usr/local/include make
make install
makewhatis /usr/local/man  # update mandoc.db with alttab.1
make check  # optional
