|
|
2 ============================ |
|
|
3 dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X. |
|
|
4 |
|
|
5 |
|
|
6 Requirements |
|
|
7 ------------ |
|
|
8 In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files. |
|
|
9 |
|
|
10 |
|
|
11 Installation |
|
|
12 ------------ |
|
|
13 Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into |
|
|
14 the /usr/local namespace by default). |
|
|
15 |
|
|
16 Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if |
|
|
17 necessary as root): |
|
|
18 |
|
|
19 make clean install |
|
|
20 |
|
|
21 |
|
|
22 Running dwm |
|
|
23 ----------- |
|
|
24 Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx: |
|
|
25 |
|
|
26 exec dwm |
|
|
27 |
|
|
28 In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that |
|
|
29 the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.: |
|
|
30 |
|
|
31 DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm |
|
|
32 |
|
|
33 (This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.) |
|
|
34 |
|
|
35 In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something |
|
|
36 like this in your .xinitrc: |
|
|
37 |
|
|
38 while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`" |
|
|
39 do |
|
|
40 sleep 1 |
|
|
41 done & |
|
|
42 exec dwm |
|
|
43 |
|
|
44 |
|
|
45 Configuration |
|
|
46 ------------- |
|
|
47 The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h |
|
|
48 and (re)compiling the source code. |
