st is a simple terminal emulator for X which sucks less.
This is my Char-custom branch with a tweaked default color scheme, a different default font, and a few patches from st.suckless.org already applied:
- alpha
- anysize
- blinking_cursor
- delkey
- desktopentry
- glyph-wide-support
- hidecursor
- scrollback-ringbuffer
- scrollback-mouse-altscreen
In order to build st you need the Xlib header files.
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.
