aaron's build of dwm
============================
dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.


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


Patches
------------
- actualfullscreen
- alwayscenter
- fibonacci
- fixborders
- focusonclick
- movecenter
- moveresize
- movestack
- pertag
- preserveonrestart
- smartborders
- steam
- swallow
- tilegap


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.


Updating
-------------
    git switch suckless
    git pull git://git.suckless.org/dwm
    git switch master
    git rebase --rebase-merges  suckless
