annotate README @ 541:08d3d329270a
using MASTER 600 again, it is definately better, and using urxvtc for the moment (it doesn't flickers on refreshes, but this is not because of Marc Lehmann, it is because of the original rxvt code)

| arg@497 | 2 ============================ |
| arg@316 | 3 dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X. |

| garbeam@17 | 5 |
| garbeam@0 | 6 Requirements |
| garbeam@0 | 7 ------------ |
| garbeam@34 | 8 In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files. |
| garbeam@0 | 9 |
| garbeam@0 | 10 |
| garbeam@0 | 11 Installation |
| garbeam@0 | 12 ------------ |
| arg@143 | 13 Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into |
| arg@143 | 14 the /usr/local namespace by default). |
| garbeam@0 | 15 |
| arg@172 | 16 Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if |
| garbeam@0 | 17 necessary as root): |
| garbeam@0 | 18 |
| garbeam@0 | 19 make clean install |
| garbeam@0 | 20 |
| garbeam@0 | 21 |
| garbeam@34 | 22 Running dwm |
| garbeam@37 | 23 ----------- |
| garbeam@34 | 24 Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx: |
| garbeam@0 | 25 |
| garbeam@34 | 26 exec dwm |
| garbeam@0 | 27 |
| garbeam@34 | 28 In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that |
| garbeam@0 | 29 the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.: |
| garbeam@0 | 30 |
| garbeam@34 | 31 DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm |
| garbeam@0 | 32 |
| arg@154 | 33 (This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.) |
| garbeam@0 | 34 |
| arg@143 | 35 In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something |
| arg@143 | 36 like this in your .xinitrc: |
| arg@132 | 37 |
| arg@132 | 38 while true |
| arg@132 | 39 do |
| arg@503 | 40 echo `date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'` |
| arg@143 | 41 sleep 1 |
| arg@135 | 42 done | dwm |
| arg@132 | 43 |
| arg@143 | 44 |
| garbeam@0 | 45 Configuration |
| garbeam@0 | 46 ------------- |
| arg@174 | 47 The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h |
| arg@174 | 48 and (re)compiling the source code. |
