I added an option to the configure script to link against gdk instead of imlib2. Most people already have gdk installed so that way they can use awesome without installing imlib2, and gdk's pixbuf was explicitly designed to replace imlib2. Also, a nice side effect is that GDK works directly with cairo surfaces, so the process of loading images should be faster, although since awesome does very little image loading it probably wont have a noticable impact on performance, but it certainly won't hurt.

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, Pango
- libconfuse >= 2.6
- cairo
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.
