Sorry if this topic has been discussed here already (did not find it).
I am interest in knowing a bit more about compiling i3wm from source,
and running my own version... but I am having some small problems to
do it, and I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.

For instance, cloning the source from git:

$ git clone git://code.i3wm.org/i3
$ cd i3
$ make
In file included from src/auto_detect_format.c:15:0:
include/i3status.h:7:21: fatal error: confuse.h: No such file or
directory compilation terminated.
make: *** [src/auto_detect_format.o] Error 1

Any ideas of what could be the problem? I checked the dependencies,
but I am not sure which one could it be.
I am running it on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit by the way.

Any help is appreciated!

On Debian confuse.h is part of the libconfuse-dev package, I would
assume that is the same on Ubuntu. Do you have that package installed?
