[SOLVED] DWM systray

Hi,

I am trying to apply systray patch to my DWM but it says that patch does not apply.

error: patch failed: config.def.h:3
error: config.def.h: patch does not apply

I am trying to apply 6.2 patch to DWM version 6.2.
Anybody knows why I have this problem? Am I missing something?

My dwm source: https://github.com/Stargarth/dwmBuild

Re: [SOLVED] DWM systray

Please describe your steps.  Are you using a PKGBUILD?  Is the patch applied in a prepare function?  Or if you apply the patch manually, post your complete commands and output.

Re: [SOLVED] DWM systray

Did you maybe manually edit some values in config.def.h?

Re: [SOLVED] DWM systray

Please describe your steps.

I downloaded dwm source from https://dwm.suckless.org/ and I applied few patches using git apply (I added Fibonacci and borders patches). I've build it with make command.

Did you maybe manually edit some values in config.def.h?

I am pretty sure that I didn't. Maybe one of the patches did? Honestly I don't look at their content . I only edit config.h.

I've uploaded my dwm source to github: https://github.com/Stargarth/dwmBuild

Re: [SOLVED] DWM systray

... post your complete commands and output.

You only vaguely referred to other patches ... which ones, exactly which ones.  Where did you get them and exactly how did you apply them?

The other patches are almost certainly the cause of the failure.  This is a typical problem when one is applying multiple patches.  But if you don't give specifics about what you are doing so that we can replicate your steps, there is no more help that could be given other than saying that's why and you may need to manually apply the patch.

Re: [SOLVED] DWM systray

.. which ones, exactly which ones.

I didn't remember exactly, so I've downloaded fresh dwm source, applied patches, build it again.... and it works!
I must have messed up something that I don't remember in previous build.

Anyway - thanks for help! As always it's much appreciated!
