Thanks to orhun Hadlock can now be installed via aur using for example yay -S hadlock
build with cargo build --release and put the binary in a directory in your $PATH eg /usr/local/bin
Create /usr/share/xsessions/hadlock.desktop containing:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Hadlock
Exec=hadlock ~/.config/hadlock/hadlock.ron
Comment=Hadlock - a wm for x
Type=Application
The config file is written is ron (Rust object notation) and should be placed in ~/.config/hadlock/hadlock.ron
This config is just an example until a proper wiki has been created.
