Yeah, LXQT_PREFIX does that, sorry. lxqt-common files are supposed to be
installed just like with any other LXQt component. Can you send us the whole
output of the build script? Anyway, did you get to start LXQt through the
display manager?

thanks Paulo, still not quite getting it. First off, I'm on lubuntu 16.04,
maybe that makes a diff. Second, I've used the ./build_all.sh script, which
seems to run make install (I have binaries in /usr/bin, not /usr/local/ , the
command in the wiki says LXQT_PREFIX=/usr , maybe that made a diff). I cannot
find however any xsession installed anywhere.
Having cd'ed into lxqt-common/build and ran sudo make install that did copy
over a bunch of things including the xsession file.
Does this mean that the build_all.sh script somehow installed half stuff or
something? I clearly have lxqt binaries in /usr/bin and those didn't get there
by magic, but then I'm wondering why the stuff from lxqt-common did not.
any thoughts?
thanks,

Hi Spike,
As far as I know, to test LXQt one only has to `make install` lxqt-common
and restart his display manager. lxqt-panel has the X11 session file and
the session startup script. As by default make installs in /usr/local, you
may need to `export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH`.
Another thing I wasn't aware and just tested it to be sure is that the
session file may be installed to /usr/local/xsessions, and you will need
to move it to (or create a symlink from) /usr/share/xsessions to be able
to choose it.

Dear all,
I'm trying to test the upcoming lxqt by building from sources and running
into a number of troubles.
For reference, I'm following this guide:
https://github.com/lxde/lxqt/wiki/Building-From-Source
<https://github.com/lxde/lxqt/wiki/Building-From-Source>
First off, build would fail with a number of errors which I tracked down
to missing dependencies. I'm on Lubuntu 16.04 and I had installed all
packages specified here:
https://github.com/lxde/lxqt/wiki/Building-From-Source#ubuntu
<https://github.com/lxde/lxqt/wiki/Building-From-Source#ubuntu>
however I had to install these in addition for the build process to work:
- libxss-dev
- libudev-dev
- libmuparser-dev
- libfm-dev
- libfm-qt-dev
once the build finished I was left wondering, how do I test this? There's
no "WM chooser/option" in lightdm that I can see, maybe because the build
process did not install the needed config files. As I was trying to
figure out that I noticed that lxqt-lightdm-greeter is deprecated. Does
that mean that lxqt will be using the current lightdm?
In any case, can anyone give me pointers on what to do next to get the
whole lxqt setup like under lxde (ie session, panel, pcmanfm, etc).
thanks,
Spike
