## Installation

### Compiling source code

Runtime dependencies are qtx11extras and [libfm-qt](https://github.com/lxqt/libfm-qt)
(LXImage-Qt used to depend on [PCManFM-Qt](https://github.com/lxqt/pcmanfm-qt)
but the relevant code belongs to what was outsourced in libfm-qt).
Additional build dependencies are CMake and optionally Git to pull latest VCS
checkouts.

Code configuration is handled by CMake. CMake variable `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`
has to be set to `/usr` on most operating systems.

To build run `make`, to install `make install` which accepts variable `DESTDIR`
as usual.
