- (p [Everyone that's ever talked to me about software development
-knows that I am in love with Emacs. Emacs has a wonderful keyboard
-driven interface and is almost infinitely customizable via Emacs Lisp.
-I've done a lot of programming in Emacs from my not-so-great laptop
-lately. My laptop has a rather poor 1280x800 resolution and low
-performing integrated graphics chip. Until today, I was running the
-GNOME 3 desktop environment on it. Unlike most people (or perhaps
-just a loud minority), I like GNOME 3. However, I wanted something
-that was both less graphics intensive and more keyboard driven than
-GNOME Shell and Mutter.])
-
- (p [Someone on IRC told me about
-,(anchor [StumpWM] "http://www.nongnu.org/stumpwm/"),
-a window manager written entirely in Common Lisp. I had heard of
-StumpWM before, but back then I wasn't an Emacs user and I've never
-really stuck with any tiling window manager that I've tried (DWM,
-Awesome). Now that I know the power of a fully programmable
-environment thanks to Emacs, I decided to give StumpWM a try. After
-some initial pains trying to get it to run, I am now using it very
-happily.])
-
- (p [Here is what I had to do to get StumpWM running on Debian Wheezy.])
-
- (ol
- (li [Install StumpWM] (source-code "sudo apt-get install stumpwm"))
-
- (li [Create an ,(code [.xinitrc]) file in my home directory with the
-following text]
- (source-code "exec stumpwm"))
-
- (li (p [Workaround clisp "component not found" errors])
- (p [I could not get StumpWM to start until I created the
-following symbolic links:])
- (source-code
- "ln -s /usr/share/common-lisp/source/stumpwm/stumpwm.asd \\
- /usr/share/common-lisp/systems/stumpwm.asd
-ln -s /usr/share/common-lisp/source/cl-ppcre/cl-ppcre.asd \\
- /usr/share/common-lisp/systems/cl-ppcre.asd"))
-
- (li (p [Start the X server])
- (source-code "startx")
- (p [I use the GNOME Desktop Manager, so I also created a session
-file for StumpWM in ,(code [/usr/share/xsessions/stumpwm.desktop.])])
- (source-code
- "[Desktop Entry]
-Encoding=UTF-8
-Name=StumpWM
-Comment=This session logs you into StumpWM
-Exec=stumpwm
-TryExec=stumpwm
-Icon=
-Type=Application")))
-
- (p [I hope this brief installation guide can be of use to one of you
-out there in Internet land. Perhaps in the future I will write an
-article about customizing StumpWM with Common Lisp.]))
