== Installation ==

Allow slim to compile against libpng 1.5:
<build>sed 's@png_ptr->jmpbuf@png_jmpbuf(png_ptr)@g' -i png.c
sed 's@-lpng12@-lpng15@g' -i Makefile</build>

By default, Slim uses the <code>.xinitrc</code> file in a users home directory to set up an X session. Change this to use the system-wide <code>xinitrc</code> in stead:
<build>sed 's@~/.@/etc/X11/app-defaults/@g' -i slim.conf</build>

Compile the package:
<build>sed 's@/bin/slim@/sbin/slim@g' -i Makefile
make</build>

<build user="root">make install</build>

The next two code blocks will install a custom boot script, which will launch the Slim Display Manager on boot.
<build user="root">cat > /etc/rc.d/init.d/slim << "EOF"
