Installation

installing wmfs²

manual compilation (git repo)

this is the recommended method. wmfs² is still young, so the code is changing every day and any package/build is often obsolete.
to perform this compilation, you need to satisfy some dependencies: Xlib, Xinerama, Imlib2, pkg-config, and of course git to clone the source code.

$ git clone git://github.com/xorg62/wmfs.git
$ cd wmfs
$ ./configure -h
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

to perform git update with an existing git directory:

$ git pull
$ ./configure
$ make clean
$ sudo make install

wmfs² is installed in /usr/local/bin by default.

copy the default configuration in your ~/.config/wmfs if you want to modify it
then launch wmfs from startx:

cp wmfsrc ~/.config/wmfs/
echo "exec wmfs" >> ~/.xinitrc
startx
