Errors when compiling dwm-flexipatch

[bakkeby]

Some patches depend on additional libraries which:

• need to be installed and
• corresponding lines to include said libraries will need to be uncommented in the config.mk file

There are usually a note about what libraries are required in the patches.h.

Example errors

/usr/bin/ld: dwm.o: undefined reference to symbol 'XRenderFindVisualFormat'
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libXrender.so.1: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [Makefile:35: dwm] Error 1

Caused by enabling the alpha patch (BAR_ALPHA_PATCH) and forgetting to uncomment this:

dwm-flexipatch/config.mk

Lines 31 to 32 in 0b5bc76

	# Uncomment this for the alpha patch / BAR_ALPHA_PATCH
	#XRENDER = -lXrender

Requires the libxrender / Xrender library which is usually installed by default on most systems.
