dwm - dynamic window manager
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic X11 window manager.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into
|
|
the /usr/local namespace by default).
|
|
|
|
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if
|
|
necessary as root):
|
|
|
|
make clean install
|
|
|
|
If you want to use a customized config.h, you can use the following
|
|
command for installing dwm:
|
|
|
|
make CONFIG=<your-config>.h clean install
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running dwm
|
|
-----------
|
|
Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:
|
|
|
|
exec dwm
|
|
|
|
In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that
|
|
the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm
|
|
|
|
(This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
|
|
|
|
In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something
|
|
like this in your .xinitrc:
|
|
|
|
while true
|
|
do
|
|
echo `date` `uptime | sed 's/.*://; s/,//g'`
|
|
sleep 1
|
|
done | dwm
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
-------------
|
|
The configuration of dwm is done by editing config.h.
