📦 Installation

Because dwl requires custom patches and protocol files to work with Waybar, the standard AUR package (dwl-git) will fail to build or will build without Waybar support.

To bypass this, we use a custom PKGBUILD that correctly copies your pre-patched config.h and config.mk into the build environment.

Prerequisites

Core: - wlroots-git (or wlroots0.19) - wayland-protocols - xorg-xwayland (Optional, for X11 apps)

Bar & Utilities: - waybar - rofi - wbg (Wallpaper setter) - swaync (Notification center) - lxterminal

Building with the Custom PKGBUILD

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://codeberg.org/WgpArch/dwl.git ~/.config/dwl
   

2. Navigate to the dwl source directory:

   cd ~/.config/dwl/dwl
   

3. Run makepkg using your custom PKGBUILD. Because the PKGBUILD is designed to look for config.h in the parent directory, it will pull in your patched configuration automatically:

   makepkg -si
   

(If you use an AUR helper like trizen, you can run trizen -S dwl-git, and when it prompts you to edit the PKGBUILD, delete the contents and paste the custom PKGBUILD provided in this repo.)

1. Ensure scripts are executable:

   chmod +x ~/.config/dwl/scripts/*
