dmenu is an efficient dynamic menu for X.
This is my build of it.
This fork as several diffs from the suckless website (all of which can be found
in the diffs directory. Most changes are cosmetic.
This fork does not provide stest. Instead dmenu_path is a native executable.
dmenu
c compiler and make. Links against Xlib.
dmenu_path
D compiler (currently hard-coded as dmd). Links against Phobos.
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dmenu is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default).
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dmenu (if necessary as root):
make clean install
See the man page for details.
