##Description:##
libxname is a super simple (probably useless) high level wrapper for Xlib's XStoreName(). It was created for ease of use with foreign function interfaces with other languages (e.g. LuaJIT FFI, Ruby FFI, Python Ctypes). libxname is primarily designed for use with DWM (as dwm's "statusbar" is created from the root X window name). Now, you don't need to shell out to xsetroot -name every second, write a proper script and fork to the background!
##Building:##
libxname requires libx11/Xlib to build. Building is straightforward, there is no autotools/configuration script.. you should be able to get by with a simply make. If you're running X11, and would like to check to see if the library can successfully set your root window name, use make check.
##Installation:##
Using make install is supported, but primarily for use in a buildscript. Using DESTDIR/PREFIX should work, as long as it's defined as a make option and not an environment variable. (e.g. make DESTDIR=/tmp/pkgdir install)
