Requirements
|

Installation
|
|
|
|
------------
|
2006-08-01 17:32:33 +07:00
|
|
|
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into
|
|
|
|
the /usr/local namespace by default).
|
2006-07-10 21:38:18 +07:00
|
|
|
|
2006-08-02 22:49:21 +07:00
|
|
|
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if
|
2006-07-10 21:38:18 +07:00
|
|
|
necessary as root):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
make clean install
|
|
|
|
|
2007-10-01 19:40:53 +07:00
|
|
|
If you are going to use the default bluegray color scheme it is highly
|
|
|
|
recommended to also install the bluegray files shipped in the dextra package.

Running dwm
|
2006-07-13 15:03:56 +07:00
|
|
|
-----------
|
2006-07-13 14:32:22 +07:00
|
|
|
Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:
|
2006-07-10 21:38:18 +07:00
|
|
|
|
2006-07-13 14:32:22 +07:00
|
|
|
exec dwm
|
2006-07-10 21:38:18 +07:00
|
|
|
|
2006-07-13 14:32:22 +07:00
|
|
|
In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that
|
2006-07-10 21:38:18 +07:00
|
|
|
the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
|
2006-07-13 14:32:22 +07:00
|
|
|
DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm
|
2006-07-10 21:38:18 +07:00
|
|
|
|
2006-08-01 21:29:25 +07:00
|
|
|
(This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
|
2006-07-10 21:38:18 +07:00
|
|
|
|
2006-08-01 17:32:33 +07:00
|
|
|
In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something
|
|
|
|
like this in your .xinitrc:
|
2006-07-21 14:59:11 +07:00
|
|
|
|
2011-04-27 22:55:18 +07:00
|
|
|
while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"
|
2006-07-21 14:59:11 +07:00
|
|
|
do
|
2011-04-27 22:55:18 +07:00
|
|
|
sleep 20
|
2008-12-14 03:20:26 +07:00
|
|
|
done &
|
2011-04-27 22:55:18 +07:00
|
|
|
exec dwm
|
2006-07-21 14:59:11 +07:00
|
|
|
|
2006-08-01 17:32:33 +07:00
|
|
|
|
2006-07-10 21:38:18 +07:00
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
2006-08-03 15:58:29 +07:00
|
|
|
The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h
|
|
|
|
and (re)compiling the source code.
