In the examples in awesomerc.5.txt, they kind of assume that awesome is already running. If you run them from your .xinitrc, they'll fail, because the awesome socket isn't available. This patch adds a quick check to make sure the socket is there before starting up. Signed-off-by: Julien Danjou <julien@danjou.info> |

README
awesome
=======
awesome is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.
Requirements
------------
In order to build awesome itself, you need header files and libs of:
- Xlib, Xinerama, Xrandr
- libconfuse >= 2.6
- cairo
- pango and pangocairo
- Imlib2
or
- GTK+ (use --with-gtk with ./configure)
In order to build the awesome man pages, you need these tools:
- asciidoc (recent version)
- xmlto (recent version)
- docbook XSL stylesheets
In order to build the source code reference, you need these tools:
- doxygen
- graphviz
Building and 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.
The source code reference can be built with "make doc".
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.
