What do I need to compile and install AfterStep?
Because AfterStep is an X application, you need to have X installed, and the X development libraries (note, in this case “development” means libraries need to compile things with X, not development level code). You’ll also need a C compiler, and image libraries. • libXpm • libpng • jpeg libraries It is suggested you have at least the xpm libraries, if not all image types. Because AfterStep comes with all of its images in xpm format, if you do not compile with libXpm, many of the default looks will appear broken or lacking in images. Save yourself the trouble of converting images, install libXpm.
