[SOLVED-ish] Useless gaps patch on dwm failing to build

Question

Trying to apply uselessgaps unsuccessfully.
Here's the error at compilation:

Aborting...
And here are dwm.c and config.h I want this to work with:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paraz … r/config.h
Any ideas on making this work?

The scratchpad error is pretty evident from your config.h; the others look like the uselessgaps patch needs updating...
This, however, isn't a support thread as such.
It's the uselessgaps I'm trying to fix. Do I just open a new thread?
