| 1 dwm - dynamic window manager | |
| 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 true | |
| 39 do | |
| 40 echo `date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'` | |
| 41 sleep 1 | |
| 42 done | 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. |
