[SOLVED] Building dwm in xinitrc
Hi,
As the tittle says I'm trying to get dwm work with pywal. So in order to get that I added a couple of lines in my .xinitrc, which are
sudo rm /home/daerean/GitClones/dwm-6.2/config.h sudo make -C /home/daerean/GitClones/dwm-6.2/ clean install When I run startx, there's an error because it needs my password, so I tried editing the sudoers file, so my user can run both commands without any password prompt. When I run those in my terminal it works and there's no password prompt, but with startx the problem remains. I don't know what else to try, any suggestion will be apreciated!

Did you try with `sudo -k ...` to make sure there were no cached credentials?

Found the issue in my sudoers file, bad sintax.

Re: [SOLVED] Building dwm in xinitrc
Why do you want to recompile dwm every time you start X?

I'm trying to get dwm work with pywal
pywal sets your color scheme from the wallpaper.
@Daerean, you're aware of eg. https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/cmdcustomize/
