AfterStep on Ubuntu (12.04/12.10/13.04)
From AfterWiki
Compilation
Prerequisites
Packages required for compilation:
sudo apt-get install gcc autoconf libtool libfreetype6-dev xorg-dev x11-utils
Compilation
The actual compilation step should be quite painless:
cd afterstep-stable
./configure
make
sudo make install
At this point you should have AfterStep installed in /usr/local/bin (binaries) and /usr/local/share/afterstep (data files). Now we need to setup the system to make good use of it.
System Configuration
MS Core Fonts, so that you can use Helvetica, Courier, Times, etc. fonts (Optional):
sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
