Title: dynamic window manager
Post by: mitrofanzzz 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?

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.
