You are a saviour! I can't believe I survived that long without such tool!
Worked awesomely! Cheers for that!

For reference, these are the packages I had to install to compile i3wm in
Ubuntu 12.04:

libconfuse-dev pkg-config xcb-proto libxcb1-dev libxcb-util0-dev
libxcb-keysyms1-dev bison libxcb-icccm4-dev libyajl-dev
libstartup-notification0-dev libxcb-randr0-dev libev-dev flex
libxcursor-dev libxcb-xinerama0-dev
asciidoc (requires 800MB of additional packages, so I decided not to
install it)

Hi,

Thanks guys.... It is a bit painful to go through all dependencies (and
package naming conventions)... now I got stuck in the :

$ make
[libi3] CC fake_configure_notify.c
In file included from fake_configure_notify.c:14:0:
../include/libi3.h:19:29: fatal error: xcb/xcb_keysyms.h: No such file or
directory
compilation terminated.
make[1]: *** [fake_configure_notify.o] Error 1
make: *** [libi3/libi3.a] Error 2

But installing all I could think of (xcb-proto libxcb1 libxcb1-dev
libxcb-util0 libxcb-util0-dev), and still nothing...


Looking at packages.debian.org and searching for "file in package" will
give

libxcb-keysyms1-dev

for stable. I always resort to this webpage, if apt-cache search does not
help me.

HTH,
Erich
