+To build Openbox from SVN you need:
+
+A C Compiler (GNU GCC 3.2+ suggested)
+GNU Gettext 0.14.4
+GNU Autoconf 2.50+
+GNU Automake 1.9+
+GNU Libtool
+Xlib library/headers (devel package)
+Pkg-Config
+Glib 2.0+ library/headers (devel package) (http://www.gtk.org)
+libxml2 2.0+ library/headers (devel package)
+Pango 1.10+ library/headers (devel package)
+cvs
+
+Optionally you may way:
+X Cursor library/headers (devel package)
+Startup Notification library/headers (devel package)
+
+I recommend the latest version of all these packages.
+
+Do the following to build and install Openbox in CVS:
+
+% ./bootstrap
+% ./configure
+% make all install
+
+Don't try running it from the openbox/ directory without installing, it won't work.
+It needs to be installed before it is run.
+
+The installed binary is 'openbox'.
+
+
+
+----
+In debian unstable, you want these packages:
+gcc
+gettext
+automake1.9
+autoconf
+libtool
+libpango1.0-dev
+pkg-config
+libglib2.0-dev
+libxml2-dev
+libxcursor-dev
+libstartup-notification0-dev
+xlibs-dev
+
+tip: run "update-alternatives --config automake" and select automake1.9 before
+  running ./configure
