bemenu
Dynamic menu library and client program inspired by dmenu
Building
# Build everything
make
# To build only certain features, pass the targets which you are interested into
#
# You can also use the following meta-targets for common features:
# - clients (bemenu, bemenu-run)
# - x11
# - wayland
# - curses
#
# For example this would build the bemenu and bemenu-run binaries and the x11 renderer:
make clients x11
# To install the built features, simply run:
make install
# NOTE: You may get errors during install when not building all the features.
# These errors are free to ignore if `Install OK!` is printed.
# By default that will install to /usr/local, but you can change this with PREFIX
make install PREFIX=/usr
# Other usual variables are available for modifying such as DESTDIR, bindir, libdir and mandir
# Note that if you want a custom libdir, you should pass that during build as well, since it
# will be used compile-time to figure out where to load renderers from!
# HTML API documentation (requires doxygen installed):
make doxygen
