awesome
|
|
=======
|
|
awesome is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.
|
|
It's based on dwm.
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
In order to build awesome you need the Xlib header files, libconfuse and cairo.
|
|
Creating the man pages also requires recent versions of the asciidoc and xmlto
|
|
tools.
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
If building from git sources, run "./autogen.sh". When autoreconf has
|
|
finished, you can follow the following instructions for building a dist
|
|
tarball.
|
|
|
|
After extracting the dist tarball, run "./configure --help" and figure out
|
|
what you might want to adapt for your system. Then run ./configure with the
|
|
proper parameters, and build and install:
|
|
|
|
./configure [...]
|
|
make
|
|
make install # might need root permissions
|
|
|
|
If you're using gcc as your compiler and do not want awesome's default set
|
|
of warning flags, add AWESOME_CFLAGS="" to your "make" lines.
|
|
|
|
Running awesome
|
|
-----------
|
|
Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start awesome using startx
|
|
or to .xsession to start awesome using gdm/kdm/xdm...:
|
|
|
|
exec awesome
|
|
|
|
In order to connect awesome to a specific display, make sure that
|
|
the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec awesome
|
|
|
|
(This will start awesome on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
-------------
|
|
The configuration of awesome is done by creating a ~/.awesomerc file.
|
|
An example is provided in the sources.
