33 | In addition to the usual dependencies and installation tasks for dwm (see the |
34 | original README at the bottom of this file), there are the following new | |
35 | dependencies/tasks. | |

36 | |
37 | - xmenu from <https://github.com/phillbush/xmenu>. This requires freetype2 | |
38 | and imlib2, available in FreeBSD's ports collection under `print/freetype2` | |
c56e7560 | 39 | and `graphics/imlib2`. This is required for the layout menu popup. |
7b563492 | 40 | |
c56e7560 | 41 | - Customize (if needed) and install `layoutmenu.sh` somewhere in your `$PATH`. |
a4f2fca0 | 42 | Remember to make it executable. |

57 | dwm - dynamic window manager |
58 | ============================ | |
59 | dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X. | |
60 | ||
61 | ||
62 | Requirements | |
63 | ------------ | |
64 | In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files. | |
65 | ||
66 | ||
67 | Installation | |
68 | ------------ | |
69 | Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into | |
70 | the /usr/local namespace by default). | |
71 | ||
72 | Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if | |
73 | necessary as root): | |
74 | ||
75 | make clean install | |
76 | ||
77 | ||
78 | Running dwm | |
79 | ----------- | |
80 | Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx: | |
81 | ||
82 | exec dwm | |
83 | ||
84 | In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that | |
85 | the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.: | |
86 | ||
87 | DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm | |
88 | ||
89 | (This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.) | |
90 | ||
91 | In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something | |
92 | like this in your .xinitrc: | |
93 | ||
94 | while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`" | |
95 | do | |
96 | sleep 1 | |
97 | done & | |
98 | exec dwm | |
99 | ||
100 | ||
101 | Configuration | |
102 | ------------- | |
103 | The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h | |
104 | and (re)compiling the source code. |
