make clean

make

#### status bar

dwm use the title value of the X root window as status bar.

To use a status provider we need a small tool that sets the title of the X root window with provider's output. This tool is `xrootwin`.

**build xrootwin**

```

cd xrootwin

mkdir build; cd build

cmake ..

cmake --build .

```

then call it from a startup script like `.xinitrc` or `.xprofile` and pipe the provider output into it

```

if [ "$XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP" = 'dwm' ]; then

  (provider_bin | xrootwin) &

fi

```
