How to compile it

Razor-qt uses cmake to configure and build. See Dependencies for the complete list of requirements. See Razor-cmake-Options for customized builds.

At first - obtain sources. It can be tarball or git clonning see github help.

For next text let's suppose you have downloaded razorqt-0.4.0.tar.bz2 tarball. Character $ is a sign for shell prompt.

place tarball into your working directory. For example ~/work/razor and unpack the archive there.
new directory appears: razorqt-0.4.0
create new directory in the work directory to build it from there: mkdir build
so the directory structure is following:
```
$ ls
build  razorqt-0.4.0
```
go to the build directory and run cmake there
```
$ cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../release ../razorqt-0.4.0
```
which means: configure the build to be installed in ~/work/razor/release as the root directory. In the case you omit the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX the /usr/local path will be used.
there are more useful variables to be defined. E.g. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug compiles razor with debugging symbols etc. Please see Cmake documentation
there are also some Razor related Razor-cmake-Options.
if the configuration phase runs successfully then just run make and make install

It is also possible to run one session in another virtual terminal.

create a new .xinitrc file

$ echo 'exec razor-session -w openbox' > .xinitrc_razor
