Fedora 38 : Openbox from GitHub.

I tried to use the OpenBox desktop environment in Fedora 38 and it seems to be incomplete, see also this thread.

I try to build the Openbox desktop from the source code, see the GitHub project.

$ git clone https://github.com/danakj/openbox.git
$ cd openbox

I need to install these: gettext-devel, glib2-devel, libtool, and pango-devel.X86_64 all devel libraries with dnf tool ...

Use the next commands, you will see some errors about some deprecated libraries and source code when you use the make command.

$ ./bootstrap
$ ./configure
$ make 

The go-to openbox folder to see the result:

$ cd openbox
$ ls -lFGC

The last step is to run the Openbox after you solve these:

Failed to open the display from the DISPLAY environment variable.

Openbox-Message: A window manager is already running on screen 0.

Because you are into environment area you need to close it.

After several attempts, I managed to pass these issues and ran the command:

$ ./xinit

This is the result is this:

I don't really have skills in this field of changes in Linux distributions and I wouldn't want to give wrong indications.
