Install Rofi on Manjaro (One-Liner)

This is a quick guide to install Rofi from source on Manjaro. This approach compiles the file and will work.

To proceed copy and paste it into your working directory.

sudo pacman -S base-devel bison flex pkg-config startup-notification check && cd ~/Downloads/rofi-1.7.8/build && ../configure && make && sudo make install

Use code caution

Explanation
This installs all the dependencies and executes the commands all in one go.

• Confirm that the dependencies are installed by using pacman and sudo privlages
• The folder that is being operated on is ~/Downloads/rofi-1.7.8/build which will use home directory.
• Make the project
• Install with sudo the project

Key Point:

It's also assumed that the source files, downloaded by the user, were put into the users download folder. Please tell users to change it if that's not the case.

Using wayland display server protocol

• No, my documentation issue is not about running rofi using the wayland display server protocol

I've checked if the issue exists in the latest stable release

• Yes, I have checked the problem exists in the latest stable version

Given there is no title or explanation of what this ticket is, I will assume this is a proposed addition to install instructions for majarno.

At the moment I see a few issues with this:

1. I think the install instructions provided with rofi should be clear enough. (here). An cramped one-liner with tons of assumptions does not help, especially when things don't work out.
   In general these instructions should be written in a way that its easy to debug for the user and us if things go wrong.
2. The list of dependencies listed is very incomplete. It assumed a lot of dependencies are already installed.
3. It assumes that the source directory has a 'build' directory that is not there by default.
4. Majarno is I think archlinux based, and archlinux has a better system for installing packages out side of the main repository via AUR. IMHO This would be preferred over this solution.
