dvtm - dynamic virtual terminal manager ======================================= dvtm brings dwm and it's concept of tiling window management to the console. See http://www.brain-dump.org/projects/dvtm for the latest version. Requirements ------------ In order to build dvtm you will need: * libncurses or libncursesw for wide character support Installation ------------ Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dvtm is installed into the /usr/local namespace and links against libncursesw by default). Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dvtm (if necessary as root). make && make install Running dvtm ------------ Just run dvtm from the console, redirect stderr to a file (just in case something goes wrong you will see it there). dvtm 2> log If you want to display a one line status bar you can create a named pipe and pass it's name to dvtm via it's -s command line option. Make sure that the pipe remains open until dvtm is closed, see the included dvtm-status script as an example. Configuration ------------- The configuration of dvtm is done by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source code.
