https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D227966 Mateusz Piotrowski <0mp@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |0mp@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #1 from Mateusz Piotrowski <0mp@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to Wojciech A. Koszek from comment #0) dwm on FreeBSD comes with no additional patches by default. Stock dwm is configured to launch st (available as x11/sterm in ports). I don't know abo= ut OpenBSD but Debian is patching dwm to launch xterm instead.=20 Actually, after the installation of dwm you should get a message that it is recommended to install additionally install sterm and dmenu. It's because d= wm is preconfigured to launch those programs. In order to modify the terminal dwm is launching when you hit Mod+Shift+Ent= er you've got to provide your own config.h file. This is the standard way to modify most software from suckless.org: 1. Get a copy of config.h (for example from here[1]) 2. Get a copy of the ports tree on your machine 3. Install dwm from ports using DWM_CONF to point to your custom config.h: # cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/dwm # make DWM_CONF=3D"/path/to/your/config.h" install PS I am trying to provide a detailed answer for future reference for other people who might not be experienced with FreeBSD just yet. Hence all those links to things you probably know better than I do. :)=20 [1]: https://git.suckless.org/dwm/tree/config.def.h [2]: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ports-using.html --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
