1 This is a lean and mean implementation of wmiirc in lua. The goals of
3 - be fast, small, and feature rich,
4 - avoid threading and polling at costs, and
5 - replicate the functionality of wmii+ruby.
7 More details on my blog:
8 - see http://www.jukie.net/~bart/blog/wmiirc-in-lua
11 - wmii, 3.5+ or whatever is in hg at the moment
16 - patience (no, it's not a package)
18 Installation instructions:
19 - install lua5.1 liblua5.1-posix0
20 - on Debian you can do this to install all of lua5.1:
22 apt-cache search lua5.1 | awk '/liblua5.1/ { print $1 }' \
23 | xargs sudo apt-get install -y
25 - build an install wmii from mercurial (3.5 or newer), you will also
28 hg clone http://www.suckless.org/hg.rc/libixp
29 hg clone http://www.suckless.org/hg.rc/wmii
31 - install the wmiirc script:
35 - make .xsession execute wmii
38 - my configuration uses Mod4 (the Win key on PC keyboards) for
39 switching between work spaces and retagging. If your keyboard does
40 not have a Win key, you can execute the xmodmaprc-mod4 from your
42 xmodmaprc .wmii-3.5/xmodmaprc-mod4
