Requirements
|

============
|

|
||||
In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files. Optionally you
|
||||
will also need xinerama.

Installation
|
||||
============
|

|

Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into the
|

/usr/local namespace by default).

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 environment variable is set correctly. For example, to start
|
||||
dwm on the host foo.bar on display 1:
|
||||
,----
|
||||
| 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:
|
||||
|

When editing and compiling this project, it may be cumbersome to
|
||||
restart dwm. By adding the following to your .xinitrc, one may
|
||||
restart dwm simply by killing the process, which will be immediately
|
||||
spawned again by the XServer.
|
||||
,----
|
||||
| while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"

| sleep 1

|
||||
|
||||
Any applications will still exist after dwm is restarted, but may not
|
||||
laid out before the restart. Refer to the `rules` variable in
|
||||
config.h for automatic layout control.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
