PREREQUISITES
=============

C99 compliant C compiler
POSIX compliant make

Libraries and Headers required for building:

libX11 
libXt
libXext
libXrandr
libXinerama
libXm (open-motif/motif)

BUILDING AND INSTALLING
=======================

Make sure to review the target platform makefile (mf/Makefile.<platform>).
Adjust the installation prefix and X resources installation path if necessary.
Read comments in the makefile for additional compile time options available.
The target platform is picked by the master Makefile from uname(1). If no
platform specific Makefile exists, try "Makefile.generic".

Run 'make' in the top-level directory of the source distribution.
When the build process finishes, run 'make install' as root.

CONFIGURATION
=============

The app-defaults file installed in PREFIX/X11/app-defaults/Emwm includes basic
font and color configuration for window decorations. See emwm(1) Component
Appearance Resources section for more information.

A sample emwmrc, which defines key bindings and root/window menus, is installed
in PREFIX/X11/system.emwmrc. This file may be copied to $HOME/.emwmrc for
customization. The emwmrc(4) man-page describes the syntax in detail.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON EXISTING RC FILES
-----------------------------------

Any existing EMWM 1.3 (or earlier) configuration files will interfere with the
workspace functionality, since they don't have any related bindings (window and
root menu) defined. The distribution archive includes an updated template file.
