4 years ago Hey @e3172.
My XMonad configuration won't build under ~/.xmonad like other configs. As a matter of fact, I don't even use a directory like that on any of my machines.
I use Cabal directly to build a binary, then have my xsession/DE start that binary as the window manager.
Instead of building my config, you're better off stealing the parts you like and placing them into your config.
I am attempting to install your config. I have clones the github repo to ~/.xmonad/ When I rename xmonadrc.hs to xmonad.hs and to xmonad --recompile I get these errors: XMonad will use ghc to recompile, because "/home/pax/.xmonad/build" does not exist. Error detected while loading xmonad configuration file: /home/pax/.xmonad/xmonad.hs
