(c99 problem) for simple terminal

linuxbytes

hI everyone
just wanted to know if anyone installed dmw and st on solus?
I like i3 but wanted to try out dwm and st
so far getting a weird c99 issue but I have done sudo eopkg it -c system.devel

linuxbytes That really doesn't tell us much. I assume by c99 you are trying to compile it? What's the full output?

install these packages and try again. You need xsetroot for displaying the status bar

sudo eopkg it libx11-devel libxft-devel libxinerama-devel xsetroot

linuxbytes

my apologizes,
As for complin a binary, then yes I am.
This is what I am getting

rm -f st st.o x.o st-0.8.3.tar.gz
c99 -I/usr/X11R6/include  `pkg-config --cflags fontconfig`  `pkg-config --cflags freetype2` -DVERSION=\"0.8.3\" -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=600  -O1 -c st.c
/bin/sh: c99: command not found
make: *** [Makefile:22: st.o] Error 127

I have installed the system.devel and also the needed headers so the dmw and dmenu both complied fine. I know C99 is a compiler but the question I have is how can I install or use it on Solus

Just use gcc -std=c99.

c99 is just a script that does as much on other distros. If you don't want to remember that, I suggest setting an Alias in your shell of choice.

ok I see now, looking at the config.mk files. thank you @DataDrake and @viyoriya for the help
