Dmenu is an efficient dynamic menu for X. This is my personal build of dwm. I used the following patches in this build:
- lineheight (adds additional parameter -h for setting the height of dmenu)
In order to build dmenu you need the Xlib header files.
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dmenu is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default).
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dmenu (if necessary as root):
make clean install
See the man page for details.
