solving this we get this

Solution

okh now the error is fixed

So first know what is error about

error we are trying to automatically compile the dwmblocks.c file and in the code the library which is ariseing the error that is -lX11 The path to solve this is we have to do the maual compilation of an C language file and that is very easy

command for compilation is gcc dwmblocks.c -lX11 -o dwmblocks ▶ gcc as in-build compiler, dwmblocks.c file to compile, -lX11 is lib adding manually during compilation, -o to get output with, dwmblocks as name of output file

edit the config file according to required blocks

NOTE📌 : cp the dwmblocks file to the /usr/local/bin so it can run from any where

take the dwmbloks script form lukesmith voidrice build use this

add bar scripts in the /usr/local/bin this path is given in the documentation of dwmblocks

now you are ready to run

Command

idconfig –> configure dynamic linker run-time bindings.

Used to create links and cache to the most recent shared libraries .

gcc <-lib-to-add> -o <output-file-name>
