Hi,
It means that you have to install the dev library (for example libx11-dev as
named in debian).
As for the difference between i3 and dwm, beside the compilation point, here
are some that I have noticed (I have used both but prefered dwm):
- dwm is faster and simpler to use (less "functionnalities" if you want to
call it like that);
- they use different paradigm : i3 "creates" workspace and associated tags
when a client appears or is sent to the considered workspace // dwm has
defined tags that you apply to clients;
- both uses different layout: in i3 windows can be tiled, stacked or tabbed
(or floating);
in dwm you have tiling, floating and maximising layout
For the rest, its more or less a question of taste.
Try both and make you're choice.
dwm is not difficult and there is documentation.
Take a look at the i3 config file, the first time, you may find it hard as
well.
I've written tutorials for both (french):
