README

awesome
=======
awesome is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.
It's based on dwm.

Requirements
------------

In order to build awesome you need the Xlib header files, libconfuse and cairo.
Creating the man pages also requires recent versions of the asciidoc and xmlto
tools.

Installation
------------
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (awesome is installed into
the /usr/local namespace by default).

Afterwards enter the following command to build and install awesome (if
necessary as root):

    make install

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.
