36 | In addition to the usual dependencies and installation tasks for dwm (see the |
37 | original README at the bottom of this file), there are the following new | |
38 | dependencies/tasks. | |
7b563492 AT |
39 | |
40 | - xmenu from <https://github.com/phillbush/xmenu>. This requires freetype2 | |
41 | and imlib2, available in FreeBSD's ports collection under `print/freetype2` | |
c56e7560 | 42 | and `graphics/imlib2`. This is required for the layout menu popup. |
7b563492 | 43 | |
c56e7560 | 44 | - Customize (if needed) and install `layoutmenu.sh` somewhere in your `$PATH`. |
a4f2fca0 | 45 | Remember to make it executable. |

72 | dwm - dynamic window manager |
73 | ============================ | |
74 | dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X. | |
75 | ||
76 | ||
77 | Requirements | |
78 | ------------ | |
79 | In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files. | |
80 | ||
81 | ||
82 | Installation | |
83 | ------------ | |
84 | Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into | |
85 | the /usr/local namespace by default). | |
86 | ||
87 | Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if | |
88 | necessary as root): | |
89 | ||
90 | make clean install | |
91 | ||
92 | ||
93 | Running dwm | |
94 | ----------- | |
95 | Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx: | |
96 | ||
97 | exec dwm | |
98 | ||
99 | In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that | |
100 | the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.: | |
101 | ||
102 | DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm | |
103 | ||
104 | (This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.) | |
105 | ||
106 | In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something | |
107 | like this in your .xinitrc: | |
108 | ||
109 | while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`" | |
110 | do | |
111 | sleep 1 | |
112 | done & | |
113 | exec dwm | |
114 | ||
115 | ||
116 | Configuration | |
117 | ------------- | |
118 | The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h | |
119 | and (re)compiling the source code. |
