Arch Linux users can install the st-randoragon-git AUR package.
In order to build st you need the Xlib header files.
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (st is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default).
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install st (if necessary as root):
make clean install
I used these as sources of inspiration to see some examples of what can be done with st without relying solely on painful experimentation. Also, the suckless website is a primary source for patches, which are obligatory for any decent st build.
st is based on Aurélien APTEL bt source code.
