Tried
sudo make install clean
?

yes, same error. The AUR version works though. But if there's a bug in the git version I'd just like to help and report it to the maintainer.

moetunes · 2013-02-28 08:11:36

Yep you're right.
I had to run

make
sudo make install
make clean

in that order. I guess clean should come last in the Makefile as it doesn't go by the order on the command line.
edit: changing the order in the Makefile didn't help - killed a few minutes playing with it though

@bloom: bspwm is not loading settings from autostart anymore and there hasn't been noticeable changes lately. Do you know what could be the problem?

bloom · 2013-02-28 09:49:53

The following:

make clean install

will necessary fails since the clean target removes the binaries .

The install instructions are:

make
make install

Or simply:

owl install bspwm-git

Yes: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31204.

I will fix this but in the meantime you can add the following to your ~/.profile:

export XDG_CONFIG_HOME=${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-"$HOME/.config"}
export XDG_DATA_HOME=${XDG_DATA_HOME:-"$HOME/.local/share"}
export XDG_CACHE_HOME=${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-"$HOME/.cache"}

Worked perfectly! Once more, thank you.

Most of the times the following is used:

install: all

I can't do that because bspwm's Makefile has two build targets: all and debug.

The resize argument of the grab_pointer message is now called resize_corner.

There's a new argument called resize_side.

The *_tiled arguments are gone: the actions now take into account the tiled state of the window.

Example pointer bindings:

super + button{1,2,3}
    bspc grab_pointer {move,resize_side,resize_corner}

super + !button{1,2,3}
    bspc {track_pointer,track_pointer,track_pointer} %i %i

super + @button{1,2,3}
    bspc {ungrab_pointer,ungrab_pointer,ungrab_pointer}

The new "focus_follows_pointer" setting works perfectly e.g. for multiple rxvt-unicode windows, but it behaves like the old "focus_follows_mouse" setting e.g. with a Thunderbird window and the corresponding address book.

It should be fixed.

I haven't bothered too much with makefiles at all, which is why I took the oppurtunity to have a bit of a play with yours, hope that's ok. The very simple format I use for my makefiles runs sudo make install clean ok, so i had a bit more of a play with yours and it seems with the @'s you have in front of most of your commands make moves on to clean without waiting for install to finish. I added the -v switch to the commands and a couple of extra echos to find that out.
If people want to install and clean with a one line command there's nothing wrong with doing sudo make install && make clean.

This is a nice window manager you've built.

Holy heck tiling stuff around is sick with bspwm. Took a while to get used to it but I've modified settings pretty much like I had with monsterwm. I need to make a panel when I have "time" to.

Really a nice setup Shinryuu I'll share mine too.
Btw do you mind sharing your startpage?

P.S. Since you mentioned monsterwm, I tried it yesterday for the first time on my netbook and I think it were your configs that I took from dosthare so thank you

Shinryuu · 2013-03-03 13:54:37

Heh, looks simple and nice. Indeed you can find my configurations from dotshare and no problem.

EDIT1. I use ok100's homepage.py script, you can grab it from here

I like the idea how I can send commands to bspwm like "bspc use_monitor Monitor01" etc. Not too long time ago I was wondering why things didn't work properly, it was because I had "sxhkd" instead of "sxhkd &" in my .xinitrc file. Even I'm used to keyboard only actions through different window managers I find mouse support really interesting because I can resize/move applications in a really interesting manner.

Thanks.

If you're interested in window titles you might want to use xtitle (the example bar panel uses xdotool and will miss the modifications of the title that might occur when the active window remains the same).

The focus follows pointer feature moved to a branch (focus-follows-pointer).

More details here.

bloom · 2013-03-04 20:15:11

I changed my mind: the feature returned to master.

hellomynameisphil · 2013-03-08 05:12:11

Would you ever consider adding an 'attach aside' option, such that new windows do not become the master?

There's no master/slave concept in bspwm.

However, something similar to attach aside could be achieved by making the automatic mode drive the manual mode through rotations of the split direction.

Have you ever considered the idea to implement your focus_on_run script in bspwm?
I think it provides a nice and handy feature

The problem is that there's no simple expression for what focus_or_run does. And if there was, it would be a potential sxhkd feature.

Mmm, maybe I simply misunderstood the purpose of focus_on_run, I was simply thinking about a feature like "Follow == true" in monsterwm that allows me, when launching a command with a keyboard shortcut assigned to a specific workspace, to automatically switch to that workspace having the new window focused.

Another thing I don't know how to get is: using your script for LemonBoy's bar, how can I put additional infos on the right side of the bar (the free part)? I'd like to put something like conky or simply your clock.c

Implemented by b273b9. Just add the follow keyword to the related rules.

The text has to start with S. The following should work for clock:

clock 'S%H:%M' 5 > "$BSPWM_STATUS_FIFO"

Doesn't work

EDIT: I found another problem. If I run

bspc reload_autostart

then $BSPWM_STATUS_FIFO is doubled

MMonitor01:D_One:__Two:__Three:__Four:__Five:__Six:__Seven:__Eight:__Nine:__Ten:__Two:__Three:__Four:__Five:__Six:__Seven:__Eight:__Nine:__Ten:Ltiled:WE00003

I don't know if this can be avoided in some way
