Before compiling, run "sudo apt-get build-dep i3-wm". This will install all
the libraries i3 depends on.

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!
