Requirements
------------
2006-07-13 07:32:22 +00:00
In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.
2006-07-10 14:38:18 +00:00
Installation
------------
2006-08-01 10:32:33 +00:00
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into
the /usr/local namespace by default).
2006-07-10 14:38:18 +00:00
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if
2006-07-10 14:38:18 +00:00
necessary as root):
make clean install
2006-07-13 07:32:22 +00:00
Running dwm
2006-07-13 08:03:56 +00:00
-----------
2006-07-13 07:32:22 +00:00
Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:
2006-07-10 14:38:18 +00:00
2006-07-13 07:32:22 +00:00
exec dwm
2006-07-10 14:38:18 +00:00
2006-07-13 07:32:22 +00:00
In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that
2006-07-10 14:38:18 +00:00
the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
2006-07-13 07:32:22 +00:00
DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm
2006-07-10 14:38:18 +00:00
2006-08-01 14:29:25 +00:00
(This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
2006-07-10 14:38:18 +00:00
2006-08-01 10:32:33 +00:00
In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something
like this in your .xinitrc:
2011-06-14 04:51:21 +00:00
while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"
do
sleep 1
done &
exec dwm
2006-08-01 10:32:33 +00:00
2006-07-10 14:38:18 +00:00
Configuration
-------------
The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h
and (re)compiling the source code.
