Note wmii 3.5 is no longer supported.
That seems to be an ever repeating story with Ubuntu. I'd prefer to
use the packages, so I don't have to manually recompile all the time.
Even so, there's not much point in using 3.5. It was a release
which should never have been made. And you'll not have to
recompile 'all the time'. wmii 3.5 is a year old, as its
package, which means that you could go a year between compiles
and lose nothing (assuming ubuntu doesn't change the names of
the X11 libs on you).
I have an apt repo setup at suckless.org. Unfortunately, it's
only for debian dinosaur^Wstable, because that's the only debian
distro I have access to, and noone's volunteered to do nightlies
for me. Anyway, you should still be able to run
% make deb-dep deb
in wmii's root dir and get a package. The build is pretty quick.
