Hi Bruno,

Quoting BRAGA, Bruno (2012-07-11 05:29:11)

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
This output is fake. You are compiling i3status, but you’re telling us
you compile i3.

I am running it on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit by the way.
Use our auto-builder repository, see
http://i3wm.org/docs/repositories.html

Best regards,
Michael
