## Installation
### Compiling source code
Runtime dependencies are qtx11extras, lxmenu-data, [liblxqt](https://github.com/lxde/liblxqt) and [libfm-qt](https://github.com/lxde/libfm-qt).
Additional build dependencies are CMake and optionally Git to pull latest VCS checkouts. The localization files were outsourced to repository [lxqt-l10n](https://github.com/lxde/lxqt-l10n) so the corresponding dependencies are needed, too. Please refer to this repository's `README.md` for further information.

Code configuration is handled by CMake. CMake variable `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` has to be set to `/usr` on most operating systems, depending on the way library paths are dealt with on 64bit systems variables like `CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR` may have to be set as well.

To handle the desktop binary `pcmanfm-qt` has to be launched with switch `--desktop` set. Optionally switch `--profile` can be used to safe settings specific to certain session types like the different desktop environments.
In LXQt sessions, PCManFM-Qt is launched with theses switches set as [LXQt Module](https://github.com/lxde/lxqt-session#lxqt-modules).

To configure the desktop there's a dialogue "Desktop Preferences". Technically it corresponds with launching `pcmanfm-qt` with switch `--desktop-pref` set. It is available in the desktop's context menu and included as topic "Desktop" in sub-menu Preferences - LXQt settings of the panel's main menu as well as the [Configuration Center](https://github.com/lxde/lxqt-config#configuration-center) of lxqt-config.
