The Stump Window Manager ------------------------ Stumpwm is a window manager written entirely in Common Lisp. It attempts to be highly customizable while relying entirely on the keyboard for input. You will not find buttons, icons, title bars, tool bars, or any of the other conventional GUI widgets. These design decisions reflect the growing popularity of productive, customizable lisp based systems. Build & Start Stumpwm --------------------- Prerequisites ============= * a common lisp distribution. clisp and SBCL both work. * clx * cl-ppcre If you intend to use sbcl you need to install portable-clx. If you're using clisp, make sure you use at least version 2.42 and that clisp is compiled with new-clx. As of clisp 2.42, new-clx works fine with stumpwm. Any version before that is too buggy to run stumpwm. You can use asdf-install to install lisp libraries: $ sbcl * (require 'asdf) * (require 'asdf-install) * (asdf-install:install 'clx) * (asdf-install:install 'cl-ppcre) If using clisp, you'll need to install asdf first to use asdf-install. $ mkdir -p ~/.cl/asdf && cd ~/.cl $ wget http://cclan.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/cclan/asdf/asdf.lisp -O ~/.cl/asdf/asdf.lisp $ echo "(load #p\"/home/USER/.cl/asdf/asdf\")" >> ~/.clisprc.lisp $ mkdir -p ~/.cl/systems $ echo "(push #p\"/home/USER/.cl/systems\" asdf:*central-registry*)" >> ~/.clisprc.lisp $ wget http://common-lisp.net/project/asdf-install/asdf-install_latest.tar.gz $ tar xf asdf-install_latest.tar.gz $ ln -s ~/.cl/asdf-install/asdf-install/asdf-install.asd ~/.cl/systems/ $ clisp * (asdf:operate 'asdf:compile-op 'asdf-install) * (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op 'asdf-install) * (asdf-install:install :cl-ppcre) Your operating system distribution may also have these libraries available. Building ======== Building stumpwm from CVS requires that you build the configure script: $ autoconf If there's already a configure script then just run it. $ ./configure By default stumpwm elects sbcl. If you have both installed, you can explicitly select clisp like so: $ ./configure --with-lisp=clisp If your lisps are in strange places you may need to tell the script where to find them: $ configure --with-sbcl=/home/sabetts/opt/bin/sbcl --with-clisp=/usr/local/downstairs/to/the/left/clisp Now build it: $ make If all goes well, you should have a stumpwm binary now. Sorry there's no install yet. Just copy the binary wherever you want or run it out of the stumpwm/ directory. Now that you have a binary, call it from your ~/.xinitrc file: $ echo /path/to/stumpwm >> ~/.xinitrc $ startx Hopefully that will put you in X running stumpwm! SBCL And Threads ---------------- SBCL compiled with threads causes problems with stumpwm. The most common is sluggishness. It may also cause stumpwm to become unresponsive. If you use SBCL, consider using a version built without threads. Help ---- There's a texinfo manual, stumpwm.texi. the build scripts generate an info file you can read in emacs or with the `info' program. For other stuff visit the stumpwm wiki: http://stumpwm.antidesktop.net/ There's a #stumpwm channel on irc.freenode.net, too.
