  • Build script with dbus using stack

    I followed the instructions on this post, which sets ~/.xmonad as a stack project. I set xmonad-log (also tried with haskell-dbus) in the stack.yml as an extra-dep However, it is not working for me.

    As an aside, you should use the bar you're most comfortable with. Sure most people use xmobar, but the point of xmonad is that you can create your favourite computing environment :) If you prefer polybar then it's not terribly hard to get it to work with xmonad. You can either send what you want down a pipe and let polybar read from that pipe or you can use something like xmonad-dbus to let them talk via dbus.

    Now I'm getting a couple of actual build errors, which are on taffybars end (the issue on github: https://github.com/taffybar/taffybar/issues/542 if anyone would like to fix it :P). I'll try installing the project from source instead and see where that takes me.

    You likely need to copy over the config file if you didn't do that already. Check the bottom of the github page. https://github.com/taffybar/taffybar

    To be short as possible, you cannot use taffybar unless you use the nix pkg manager to install it. Anyway the guide is here: - https://hackage.haskell.org/package/taffybar - https://github.com/taffybar/taffybar
