23 | In addition to the usual dependencies and installation tasks for dwm (see the |
| 24 | original README at the bottom of this file), there are the following new | |
| 25 | dependencies/tasks. | |
| 7b563492 AT |
26 | |
| 27 | - xmenu from <https://github.com/phillbush/xmenu>. This requires freetype2 | |
| 28 | and imlib2, available in FreeBSD's ports collection under `print/freetype2` | |
| c56e7560 | 29 | and `graphics/imlib2`. This is required for the layout menu popup. |
| 7b563492 | 30 | |
| c56e7560 | 31 | - Customize (if needed) and install `layoutmenu.sh` somewhere in your `$PATH`. |
| a4f2fca0 | 32 | Remember to make it executable. |

45 | dwm - dynamic window manager |
| 46 | ============================ | |
| 47 | dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X. | |
| 48 | ||
| 49 | ||
| 50 | Requirements | |
| 51 | ------------ | |
| 52 | In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files. | |
| 53 | ||
| 54 | ||
| 55 | Installation | |
| 56 | ------------ | |
| 57 | Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into | |
| 58 | the /usr/local namespace by default). | |
| 59 | ||
| 60 | Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if | |
| 61 | necessary as root): | |
| 62 | ||
| 63 | make clean install | |
| 64 | ||
| 65 | ||
| 66 | Running dwm | |
| 67 | ----------- | |
| 68 | Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx: | |
| 69 | ||
| 70 | exec dwm | |
| 71 | ||
| 72 | In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that | |
| 73 | the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.: | |
| 74 | ||
| 75 | DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm | |
| 76 | ||
| 77 | (This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.) | |
| 78 | ||
| 79 | In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something | |
| 80 | like this in your .xinitrc: | |
| 81 | ||
| 82 | while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`" | |
| 83 | do | |
| 84 | sleep 1 | |
| 85 | done & | |
| 86 | exec dwm | |
| 87 | ||
| 88 | ||
| 89 | Configuration | |
| 90 | ------------- | |
| 91 | The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h | |
| 92 | and (re)compiling the source code. |
