[Solved] DWM and xft trouble

Svetlina · 2013-05-16 05:41:08

Hi, applying xft patch gives me some errors so i thought someone here might help me. What i have done so far is...

abs community/dwm
cp -r /var/abs/community/dwm ~/dwm
cd ~/dwm
makepkg -i

then i download xft patch from dwm website and applied it like this

patch -p1 < path/to/patch.diff

It askd me which file i want to patch so i pointed out /home/user/dwm/src/dwm-6.0/dwm.c
Ok then i add -I/usr/include/freetype2 to CFLAGS and -lfreetype to LDFLAGS in ~/dwm/src/dwm-6.0/config.mk then

cd dwm
updpkgsums
makepkg -efi

And here i end with

could you post a link to your dwm.c? (upload it to some hosting site, not here please)

Add '-lXft' to LIBS in config.mk.

That, and also -lutil and -lXext.

Or, you can just go ahead and grab buildflags.diff and 01-dwm-6.0-xft.diff from my GitHub

Hmm...those weren't necessary for me.

Svetlina · 2013-05-16 15:21:02

Here's my dwm.c

Jakob and Unia's solution solved the problem anyway.
Thank you very much guys, you are awesome!

I think I have always used them - just assumed they were necessary. Now I have to look into it!

Cheers!

Ha! You were right, they're not necessary. Now I wonder how I ever picked up on them...
