26 | In addition to the usual dependencies and installation tasks for dwm (see the |
27 | original README at the bottom of this file), there are the following new | |
28 | dependencies/tasks. | |
7b563492 AT |
29 | |
30 | - xmenu from <https://github.com/phillbush/xmenu>. This requires freetype2 | |
31 | and imlib2, available in FreeBSD's ports collection under `print/freetype2` | |
c56e7560 | 32 | and `graphics/imlib2`. This is required for the layout menu popup. |
7b563492 | 33 | |
c56e7560 | 34 | - Customize (if needed) and install `layoutmenu.sh` somewhere in your `$PATH`. |
a4f2fca0 | 35 | Remember to make it executable. |

48 | dwm - dynamic window manager |
49 | ============================ | |
50 | dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X. | |
51 | ||
52 | ||
53 | Requirements | |
54 | ------------ | |
55 | In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files. | |
56 | ||
57 | ||
58 | Installation | |
59 | ------------ | |
60 | Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into | |
61 | the /usr/local namespace by default). | |
62 | ||
63 | Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if | |
64 | necessary as root): | |
65 | ||
66 | make clean install | |
67 | ||
68 | ||
69 | Running dwm | |
70 | ----------- | |
71 | Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx: | |
72 | ||
73 | exec dwm | |
74 | ||
75 | In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that | |
76 | the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.: | |
77 | ||
78 | DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm | |
79 | ||
80 | (This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.) | |
81 | ||
82 | In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something | |
83 | like this in your .xinitrc: | |
84 | ||
85 | while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`" | |
86 | do | |
87 | sleep 1 | |
88 | done & | |
89 | exec dwm | |
90 | ||
91 | ||
92 | Configuration | |
93 | ------------- | |
94 | The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h | |
95 | and (re)compiling the source code. |
