Boboassa's build of dwm

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

Requirements

In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files and the color header files generated by my colorscheme script (can be found at bin).

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

Configuration

The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source code.

Applied patches

Patches are a way of adding functionality to the minimal standard build of dwm, in this build the applied patches are:

• Barpadding
• Center
• Centeredwindowname
• Colorbar
• Cycleleyouts
• Statuspadding
• Vanitygaps
