st is a simple terminal emulator for X which sucks less.
In order to build st you need the Xlib header files.
Optional (For shortcuts):
- dmenu
- xdg-open
- xclip
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (st is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default).
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install st (if necessary as root):
make clean install
If you did not install st with make clean install, you must compile the st terminfo entry with the following command:
tic -sx st.info
See the man page for additional details.
All shortcuts can be found in the manpage.
