Configuration
|
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
|
You have to edit the source code for configuration, this WM is intended to
|
|
|
|
|
provide sane defaults, if something doesn't fits your needs, edit config.h and
|
|
|
|
|
maybe key.c. To change the status output edit that status variable definition
|
|
|
|
|
in wm.c.

Requirements
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
In order to build gridwm you need the Xlib header files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
Edit config.mk to match your local setup. gridwm is installed into
|
|
|
|
|
the /usr/local namespace by default.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install gridwm (if
|
|
|
|
|
necessary as root):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
make clean install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running gridwm
|
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
|
Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start gridwm using startx:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
exec gridwm
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to connect gridwm to a specific display, make sure that
|
|
|
|
|
the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-07-11 16:59:09 +00:00
|
|
|
DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec gridwm
|
2006-07-10 14:38:18 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will start gridwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
