dynamic window manager
« on: July 22, 2011, 12:27:02 AM »
Hello everyone.
I am search a way to replace FLTKwm to dwm.
But dwm for make need Xinerama libs...
Somebody know how-to make dwm and it default in my tinycore flashusb?
I used current iso image from this site to make my flashusb stick.

Sorry for my English, i am from Russia.

The Xinerama libs are in the Xorg-7.5-lib extension and the headers, etc are in Xorg-7.5-dev

There are several alternative window managers for tc, but (probably) not the one you speak of - see:

You could try and compile it yourself?

Edit: from http://dwm.suckless.org/

Because dwm is customized through editing its source code... This keeps its userbase small and elitist. No novices asking stupid questions.

If you edit dwm-5.9/config.mk so that the following lines read as follows:
Code: [Select]
X11INC = /usr/include/X11
X11LIB = /usr/lib

XINERAMALIBS = -L/usr/local/lib -lXinerama

CFLAGS = -std=c99 -pedantic -Wall -march=i486 -mtune=i686 -Os -pipe ${INCS} ${CPPFLAGS}

..it compiles and seems to work  :)

Good news for me! Thanks a lot!
I myself had not thought of, but the idea I had a true ...
If not too much trouble, check what extensions should be installed.
How to understand what dependencies are missing?

To compile dwm, you need the compiletc, Xorg-7.5-lib and Xorg-7.5-dev extensions.

To run dwm, you need only the Xorg-7.5-lib extension.
