  • Using xmonad-testing as lib
    2 projects | /r/xmonad | 5 May 2021
    All is well and works properly. Now, however, I would like to switch to the git version of Xmonad by using xmonad-testing. For that I cloned the repo, switched both xmonad & xmonad-contrib branches to master and compiled executable. First of all, if I run the executable with `--version`, I get '0.15', that seems to me not correct. Shouldn't it be 0.16, even though it is not released yet? Second, I am not sure whether I need to somehow install the Git versions as libraries to be able to use new features and to get Vim with haskell-language-server recognize the new features. My configuration is in `~/.xmonad`. I think if I copy the config to the directory where the cloned repos are, it (using the new features) will work...
