Thank you very much Chris for your reply.
I just tried again, from scratch, and failed again, with the same error.
Early on today I successfully installed other suckless patches, this time
for st, following the same procedure and everything worked flawlessly. In
fact since I have two other patches for dwm in place, everytime dwm is
reinstalled those two patches are reinstalled as well, and that happened
several times today.
It may be nonsense but I have looked up several patches' codes today and
noticed that the beginning of the swapfocus patch is different, with a
different "diff" command:
diff -up a/config.def.h b/config.def.h
--- a/config.def.h 2020-01-29 00:06:12.415681126 +0100
+++ b/config.def.h 2020-01-29 13:25:14.167910093 +0100
_AT__AT_ -66,6 +66,7
while for all others that I have looked in such as hide vacant tags the
diff command reads
diff --git a/dwm.c b/dwm.c
index 4465af1..c4aa3de 100644
--- a/dwm.c
+++ b/dwm.c
_AT__AT_ -416,7 +416,7 @@
Other than that I have no idea of why it is failing the way it is.
Anyway, thank you again very much for your reply.
Vinícius.
