Uli Schlachter 089ed0e8dd gears.object: Add :weak_connect_signal()
Connecting to a signal weakly has the same effect as connecting to it strongly,
but it allows the garbage collector to disconnect the signal in case nothing
else references this function.

About awesome

awesome is a highly configurable, next generation framework window manager for X.

Building and installation

After extracting the dist tarball, run:

make

This will create a build directory, run cmake in it and build awesome.

After building is finished, you can install:

make install  # you might need root permissions

Running awesome

You can directly select awesome from your display manager. If not, you can add the following line to your .xinitrc to start awesome using startx or to .xsession to start awesome using your display manager:

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 $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/awesome/rc.lua file.

An example configuration named awesomerc.lua.in is provided in the source.

Troubleshooting

In most systems any message printed by awesome (including warnings and errors) are written to $HOME/.xsession-errors.

If awesome does not start or the configuration file is not producing the desired results the user should examine this file to gain insight into the problem.

Reporting issues

Please report any issues you may find on our bugtracker. You can submit pull requests on the github repository. Please read the @{02-contributing.md} guide for any coding, documentation or patch guidelines.
