| garbeam@17 | 4 |
| 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 |
| garbeam@34 | 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 |
| arg@146 | 21 If you want to use a customized config.h, you can use the following |
| arg@146 | 22 command for installing dwm: |
| arg@146 | 23 |
| arg@146 | 24 make CONFIG=<your-config>.h clean install |
| arg@146 | 25 |
| garbeam@0 | 26 |
| garbeam@34 | 27 Running dwm |
| garbeam@37 | 28 ----------- |
| garbeam@34 | 29 Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx: |
| garbeam@0 | 30 |
| garbeam@34 | 31 exec dwm |
| garbeam@0 | 32 |
| garbeam@34 | 33 In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that |
| garbeam@0 | 34 the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.: |
| garbeam@0 | 35 |
| garbeam@34 | 36 DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm |
| garbeam@0 | 37 |
| arg@154 | 38 (This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.) |
| garbeam@0 | 39 |
| arg@143 | 40 In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something |
| arg@143 | 41 like this in your .xinitrc: |
| arg@132 | 42 |
| arg@132 | 43 while true |
| arg@132 | 44 do |
| arg@132 | 45 echo `date` `uptime | sed 's/.*://; s/,//g'` |
| arg@143 | 46 sleep 1 |
| arg@135 | 47 done | dwm |
| arg@132 | 48 |
| arg@143 | 49 |
| garbeam@0 | 50 Configuration |
| garbeam@0 | 51 ------------- |
| arg@146 | 52 The configuration of dwm is done by editing config.h. |
