DWM-6.0 error applying patches

Wind · 2014-11-25 19:35:47

I just got a fresh install of dwm-6.0 and changed around some stuff in config.h until I fell dissatisfied with the font, so wanted to get the pango patch to use TTF. I download the pango patch from suckless and follow the instructions to patch it, and when I 'make clean install', it says "compilation terminated" or something like that, and says a bunch of errors. When I use patch -R to remove it, and 'make clean install' again, it works. How do I go about installing patches?

It depends on the patch.

So can I not install pango? That's the one I really want so I can actually use True Type Fonts and such.

Please post details of how you are attempting to apply the patch.

Use "pkgfile" to find what packages contain xft.pc and pangoxft.pc. I get libxft and pango. Do you have those packages installed?

I download the patch to ~/Downloads/
then,

 cd /usr/local/src/dwm-6.0/

 patch -p1 < ~/Downloads/dwm-6.0-pango.diff

it works its magic
then

 sudo make clean install

and that error pops up

I could use git but this method gives me a little more detail
