Talk:Stumpwm

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The grammar in the last sentence of the first section disgusts me. 66.253.36.140 10:12, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CLX

CLX is *not* "Component Library for Cross Platform".

CLX is *not* an xlib binding. An xlib binding makes calls to the xlib library; CLX talks directly to the X server; that is, it performs the same work as xlib.

Fair enough. I've changed the description. --Gwern (contribs) 19:08 11 August 2007 (GMT)

[edit] Binary

Currently, when using SBCL, StumpWM compiles to a (rather large) binary. I believe it still requires the implementation used to compile it to remain installed (I've never run a pre-compiled package) but that's just a dependency. Unfortunately, one needs to compile the development version of SBCL 1.0.16-rX as I remember. Most binaries of it have threads enabled, and StumpWM doesn't play well with threads(bug). Once SBCL is compiled and installed, and StumpWM is compiled with that and installed, you should have no more to set up than any other window manager you've compiled from source. I personally think it's more feature/usability complete than 'Awesome.' ...and that's...awesome.

Basically, it's 50% harder than any other window manager. from source.

I'm considering blogging about all this, but I doubt it would be a good source, as my blog is mainly dedicated to hatred of GNOME. Anger and vitriol tend to be detrimental to one's message.
