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, xcb and xcb-util.
  - Lua 5.1
  - cairo
  - pango and pangocairo
  - glib
  - GTK+ or Imlib2 (use --with-imlib2 with ./configure)
  - dbus

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.lua file.
An example is provided in the sources.
