[CM] Fomus on Ubuntu

[Joel Matthys]

Hello Andrés.

1. Yes, in order to use FOMUS you must compile from source.
2. You must use premake4. In fact I believe you must have premake4.4, 
not premake4.3
3. Your error message indicates that you are missing libraries. 
Xcursor.h is in libxcursor-dev, but I suspect you need to install 
xorg-dev and it will carry all of these supporting libraries with it.
A good way to figure out missing libraries is to install apt-file:
   sudo apt-get install apt-file
   apt-file update
   apt-file find Xcursor.h

Good luck!
Joel
