### Installation

From source: 

    % git clone https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/thunar
    % git checkout <branch|tag>  #optional step. Per default master is checked out
    % cd thunar
    % ./autogen.sh

From release tarball:

    % tar xf thunar-<version>.tar.bz2
    % cd thunar-<version>
    % ./configure

 Both autogen.sh and configure will list missing dependencies. 
 If your distribution provides development versions of the related packages, 
 install them. Otherwise you will need to build and install the missing dependencies from source.
