JWM is a light-weight window manager for the X11 Window System.

To build JWM you will need a C compiler (gcc works), X11, and the "development headers" for X11 and Xlib. If available and not disabled at compile time, JWM will also use the following libraries:

• cairo and librsvg2 for SVG icons and backgrounds.
• alternatively you can use nanosvg for limited svg support
• fribidi for bi-directional text support.
• libjpeg for JPEG icons and backgrounds.
• alternatively you can use stb_image for limited jpeg support
• libpng for PNG icons and backgrounds.
  • alternatively you can use stb_image for limited png support
• libXext for the shape extension.
• libXrender for the render extension.
• libXmu for rounded corners.
• libXft for anti-aliased and true type fonts.
• libXinerama for multiple head support.
• libXpm for XPM icons and backgrounds.
