Kumar's DWM build
This repo has been created from the dwm source repo, and modified with a few patches that serve my workflow.
Requirements
In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files for your distro.
Installation
make clean install
Now you can either use exec dwm at the end of your .xinitrc and it should start up dwm when you do startx. I like to use a gui greeter because it allows you to pick any entry in /usr/share/xsessions/at login. So just create a new entry for dwm here /usr/share/xsessions/dwm.desktop:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=dwm
Encoding=UTF-8
Comment=Runs dwm
Exec=dwm
Type=Application
Configuration
The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source code.
Patches
You can find all the patches used in the patches/ dir. All of these can be found in the patches page in the official dwm website.
