BUILD FAILING ON UBUNTU about dwmblocks HOT 6 CLOSED

I would need the error that make spit out to help with that.

from dwmblocks.

here it comes:
$ make
cc pkg-config --cflags x11 pkg-config --libs x11 dwmblocks.c -o dwmblocks
/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccg6dlqE.o: in function setroot': dwmblocks.c:(.text+0x3b6): undefined reference to XOpenDisplay'
/usr/bin/ld: dwmblocks.c:(.text+0x428): undefined reference to XStoreName' /usr/bin/ld: dwmblocks.c:(.text+0x437): undefined reference to XCloseDisplay'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I have come across this issue on my pinebook pro running debian. I never figured out the root cause myself. The way I got it to work was by using clang (CC=clang make) in the most recent commit. Things to check if you prefer using gcc, check the output of pkg-config --libs x11 by itself, and make sure that cc is linked to gcc properly with ls -l $(which cc). The makefile works on arch, void, alpine, freebsd, and openbsd. So I think it is just an issue with debian distros.

I merged a change that swapped the order of the cc arguments in the Makefile which should solve this issue.

Hi,

yes but you swap cc arguments order back again in 7e0bc3f, so the issue is always there in Debian.

${CC} dwmblocks.c `pkg-config --cflags x11 --libs x11` -o dwmblocks

just work fine.

Thanks, that worked fine
