[SOLVED] dwm Compiling Error

Question

Hello,
I am running dwm, and I love how simple and light it is. I edited my config.h few times and compiled it and it was fine. The last time I tried, it gave me an error. I could not figure that out. I tried to use a valid config.h from the internet in case I missed my config.h up, and I tried to re-install it. Nothing worked. This is the error that I get when I run the command makepkg -efi --noconfirm:
dwm build options:
CFLAGS = -std=c99 -pedantic -Wall -Os -I. -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/X11 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -DVERSION="6.0" -DXINERAMA
LDFLAGS = -s -L/usr/lib -lc -L/usr/lib/X11 -lX11 -L/usr/lib/X11 -lXinerama

Answer 1

No, you were not missing "some graphical libraries that you didn't incluce in the config.h file". It looks like, as jasonwryan said, you copied functions into your config.h without checking how they work. Thus, you ended up having functions that use variables you never define in config.h (and there's alot of those!)
Next time, either stick to already working patches found at suckless.org, or give some effort and at least try to figure out what is wrong with the code you randomly copied.
