Upstream repository

The current upstream repository for this particular fork is at https://github.com/amiwm/amiwm. Please file tickets, pull requests, etc there.

Getting started

Before compiling, make sure that you have following packages installed:

gcc make autoconf xorg xorg-xinit xorg-dev

First, run configuration script:

./configure

After that, you can either edit the Makefile, or leave it as is. After that, compile and install amiwm using

make
sudo make install

Hopefully, your compilation was succesfull - now you should have amiwm installed!

Launching amiwm

To launch amiwm, use

startx amiwm

Or add "amiwm" to your xinitrc file

Configuration

Configuration utility is not yet available; To configure amiwm, you'll need to create and edit .amiwmrc file in your home directory. To do so, read amiwm's manpage.

amiwm's Issues

Compilation requires gmake

Testing on FreeBSD 13.

Looks like we need GNU make to build amiwm:

make[1]: don't know how to make ./Keyboard. Stop

make[1]: stopped in /usr/home/jbd/src/amiwm
*** Error code 2

Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/home/jbd/src/amiwm

GNU make works fine.

I'm not proposing changing the Makefile, but we should either have autoconf test for BSD make or add a note to the README. Thoughts?
