dvtm 0.8

dvtm is a dynamic virtual terminal manager.

Installation:

Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dvtm is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default).

Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dvtm (if necessary as root). If you are building for a system with wide characters (check whether $LANG or the output of "locale" contains UTF-8) then do:

make unicode && make install

Otherwise a plain:

make && make install

should suffice.

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.
