Compiling and installing

In order to compile and install eboxy on your system, type the following in the base directory of the eboxy distribution (you'll need to be root to run the last command):

./configure
make
make install

If you get errors from configure then there's probably something wrong with your paths or you don't have one of the required libraries. Firstly, make sure you have a line /usr/local/lib in your /etc/ld.so.conf file. Then (as root) run ldconfig which makes sure all installed libraries are accessible. Try running ./configure again and see if this fixed it. If not, have a look at config.log and see if that suggests anything. If not, email me at including a copy of config.log and details of the problem you're having.

To test eboxy, simply cd into the skins/test directory and run eboxy. A simple test menu should appear for you to try out.
