| 15 | ||
| 16 | In addition to the usual dependencies for dwm (see the original README at the | |
| 17 | bottom of this file), there are the following new dependencies. | |
| 18 | ||
| 19 | - xmenu from <https://github.com/phillbush/xmenu>. This requires freetype2 | |
| 20 | and imlib2, available in FreeBSD's ports collection under `print/freetype2` | |
| 21 | and `graphics/imlib2`. | |

36 | dwm - dynamic window manager |
| 37 | ============================ | |
| 38 | dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X. | |
| 39 | ||
| 40 | ||
| 41 | Requirements | |
| 42 | ------------ | |
| 43 | In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files. | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | ||
| 46 | Installation | |
| 47 | ------------ | |
| 48 | Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into | |
| 49 | the /usr/local namespace by default). | |
| 50 | ||
| 51 | Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if | |
| 52 | necessary as root): | |
| 53 | ||
| 54 | make clean install | |
| 55 | ||
| 56 | ||
| 57 | Running dwm | |
| 58 | ----------- | |
| 59 | Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx: | |
| 60 | ||
| 61 | exec dwm | |
| 62 | ||
| 63 | In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that | |
| 64 | the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.: | |
| 65 | ||
| 66 | DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm | |
| 67 | ||
| 68 | (This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.) | |
| 69 | ||
| 70 | In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something | |
| 71 | like this in your .xinitrc: | |
| 72 | ||
| 73 | while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`" | |
| 74 | do | |
| 75 | sleep 1 | |
| 76 | done & | |
| 77 | exec dwm | |
| 78 | ||
| 79 | ||
| 80 | Configuration | |
| 81 | ------------- | |
| 82 | The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h | |
| 83 | and (re)compiling the source code. |
