I understand the idea of having a config.mk for this, but it is not the easiest. Since I had to fix some other packets too, I learned myself to setup a minimal autoconf. This allows one to do: ./configure make make install Since dwm is distributed as a source package and not binary, I suspect this can mean a serious improvement. EPIC FAIL! Please read the FAQ: http://suckless.org/common/faq I agree as a developer. a 'config.mk' approach, I understand. I didn't even walk all FAQ's to get the job done :-) As a user, I'm not that convinced. ./configure is easier to explain that Makefile. What I learned from the automake/autoconf docs is: 1) autoconf allows easy test, suitable for users. 2) ./configure script is big :-( 3) automake starts the real mess, using libtool etc. I chose (for this other projects) to stick to my own hand-crafted Makefiles, supported by autoconf. Some advantages of this approach: * The core Makefile(.in) is still readable as developer. * applying different --prefix, --host or DESTDIR gets easier. I got to disagree here, since I made dwm port for crux. You only have to take a short look at the slim Makefile and you got your answer: make DESTDIR=$somedir PREFIX=/usr MANPREFIX=/usr/man install At least this doesn't look complicated to me. bye richi [1] http://repo.or.cz/w/namenlos-ports.git?a=tree;f=dwm;hb=HEAD -- quoting guide: http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/documents/quotingguide.html pgpi2VgdeHP0s.pgp Description: PGP signature

Well, I removed this statement, now. It was on purpose 2 years ago, though. It wasn't intended as offense, however. I might restore this statement, if a new user shows up proposing or asking for a configuration file format. I am happy about this decision. I think there will be a new user asking for this sooner or later. Why not add some kind of faq (and even if it only contains one question/answer), where it says, that a configuration file format is not gonna happen unless someone writes a patch for it and posts it in the appropiate section. The faq could also link to the wiki page describing how to patch the configuration header file, Filippo is going to write. bye richi

[dwm] executing programs won't work with tcsh
hi, I am using tcsh and got some problems, when i want to start a program with M+p. The problem is, that tcsh assigns variables with set name value and not like the sh shells with name=value. I patched the config.def.h (patch is attached) to directly exec the output of dmenu and mailed it to Anselm, but he pointed out, that there will be problems if the user presses Esc, which causes exec to execute . Does anyone of you know a solutions for this problem? bye richi dwm-config.patch Description: Binary data
