Amiga Workbench inspired window manager for Xorg..
This repo aims at implementing some missing features of Amiwm as it currently stands, resume its development, and bring a more complete Amiga desktop experience to Linux. In time, missing gadgets will be implemented, such as sliders, and other types of knobs and buttons, as well as missing functionalities, such as menu customization (toolsdaemon style).
It's a work in progress and i just got started but so far there's the first steps toward a file manager, there also a replica of the ASL requester, an icon viewer and some more general fixes and updates.

Before compiling, make sure that you have following packages installed:
gcc make autoconf xorg xorg-xinit xorg-dev bison flex
First, run configuration script:
./configure
After that, you can either edit the Makefile, or leave it as is. After that, compile and install amiwm using
make
sudo make install
Hopefully, your compilation was succesfull - now you should have amiwm installed!
To launch amiwm, use
startx amiwm
Or add "amiwm" to your xinitrc file
Configuration utility is not yet available; To configure amiwm, you'll need to create and edit .amiwmrc file in your home directory. To do so, read amiwm's manpage.
To work on amiwm from within another desktop, use xephyr and start amiwm with display environment variable to redirect amiwm to start on xephyr session instead of replacing your own desktop wm.
Xephyr -br -ac -noreset -no-host-grab -screen 800x600 :1 &
DISPLAY=:1 amiwm
