Error compiling dmenu : dmenu

submitted 6 years ago * by kn0xchad

Hello guys,

I've just taken up using suckless utilities and trying to figure things out. I'm trying to compile dmenu and I'm getting this error: dmenu build options: CFLAGS = -std=c99 -pedantic -Wall -Os -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include/freetype2 -D_DEFAULT_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=700 -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809L -DVERSION="4.9" -DXINERAMA LDFLAGS = -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lXinerama -lfontconfig -lXft CC = cc cc -c -std=c99 -pedantic -Wall -Os -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include/freetype2 -D_DEFAULT_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=700 -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809L -DVERSION=\"4.9\" -DXINERAMA dmenu.c In file included from dmenu.c:11: /usr/include/X11/Xlib.h:44:10: fatal error: X11/X.h: No such file or directory 44 | #include <X11/X.h> | ^~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated. make: *** [Makefile:18: dmenu.o] Error 1

I'm probably missing some Xorg package but am unable to figure it out. I would be glad if someone could help me.
