Requirements
------------
In order to build fdwm you need the Xlib header files.
Installation
------------
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (fdwm is installed into
the /usr/local namespace by default).
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install fdwm (if
necessary as root):
make clean install
Running fdwm
-----------
Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start fdwm using startx:
exec fdwm
In order to connect fdwm to a specific display, make sure that
the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec fdwm
(This will start fdwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
Configuration
-------------
The configuration of fdwm is done by creating a custom config.h
and (re)compiling the source code.
