Error while executing dwmblocks #17

Closed burton11 closed 3 years ago

burton11 commented 3 years ago

After compiling dwmblocks and trying to to run it , I get the following error: getcmd - child - execv : No such file or directory.

I don't seem to find what the issue is here exactly.

Have you changed the PATH variable at the top of your blocks.h. It should point to the folder where your scripts are saved.

burton11 commented 3 years ago

doesn't seem to work, how do you define it correctly?

ashish-yadav11 commented 3 years ago

Send the line that you have in your blocks.h

burton11 commented 3 years ago

I basically just substituted your path with mine:

define PATH(name) "/home/burton/dwmblocks/blocks/"name

after this i try to run dwmblocks in the terminal and the error still persists. i just cloned the repo and build it, didn't move the file anywhere.

ashish-yadav11 commented 3 years ago

have you run make again after changing the file? Are you sure /home/burton/dwmblocks/blocks/ points to the folder where the scripts are located? Run ls /home/burton/dwmblocks/blocks/.

You were right I forgot to run make after I made the changes and it works now , thank you very very much !
