I'm trying to install i3-gaps on Ubuntu and I've come across this problem:



I run

You should install all needed build dependencies (-dev packages) with :



sudo apt-get build-dep i3-wm


and then retry your ./configure procedure.





You may be also interested with adding PPA to your system:





  • i3blocks-gaps for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (xenial) from ppa:monettes/i3wm-gaps


  • i3-gaps-wm for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (xenial) and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (bionic) from ppa:kgilmer/regolith
