## Installation of LXSession

Install LXSession by running the following commands:

    ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-man &&
    make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the `root` user:

    make install

## Command Explanations

`--disable-man`: This switch disables building of the manual pages. Remove it if you have installed optional dependencies and wish to build the manual pages.

`--enable-gtk3`: Builds against GTK+-3 instead of GTK+-2, which is required anyway by libunique.
