dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.


Requirements
============

  In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.


Installation
============

  Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into the
  /usr/local namespace by default).

  Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if
  necessary as root):
  ,----
  | make clean install
  `----


Running dwm
===========

  Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:
  ,----
  | exec dwm
  `----

  In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that the
  DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:

  ,----
  | DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm
  `----

  (This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)

  In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something like
  this in your .xinitrc:

  ,----
  | while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"
  | do
  |     sleep 1
  | done &
  | exec dwm
  `----


Configuration
=============

  The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h and
  (re)compiling the source code.  Refer to dwm(1) (stored in this
  repository as well) to find more information.
