I searched up on how to compile DWM and configure it from ports and found these threads:

Whenever I do this, it wouldn't compile and I'll get some error. I don't remember what the exact problem was since I never used FreeBSD for several months and I need to wait until April 10 (from what I heard) to reinstall it since the ports is currently unstable. I could get DWM (compiling and configuring) working easily on slackware but I couldn't setup on FreeBSD since my knowledge is still very limited. I been wanting to make a full switch to FreeBSD so I'd like to be prepared when the ports is stable again.
This is going to be the config.h I'll be using.
I saved this config.h in /home/name so it should work with this correct?
I'm not sure if it's my config.h that is bad (not a programmer...yet) or I'm trying to compile it from ports incorrectly.
