DWM Error when installing slstatus on FreeBSD 13.1

Hello everyone,

Hope you are well, I'm stuck with this output from slstatus install :

ld: error: undefined symbol: kvm_openfiles
>>> referenced by swap.c
>>>               components/swap.o:(swap_free)
>>> referenced by swap.c

Does anyone have an idea about the error ? I've check .h files included into my install directory but I've haven't figured yet what is the problem (obviously...).

Thanks to everyone.

What type of system are you running?
What is the output of ls -l /lib/libkvm* and ldconfig -r | grep libkvm

I did not see 13.1 is EOL. Consider upgrading to the latest release.

The output :

ls -l /lib/libkvm*
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  73152 May 12  2022 /lib/libkvm.so.7

 ldconfig -r | grep libkvm
 45:-lkvm.7 => /lib/libkvm.so.7

I've made update using freebsd-update soft, then I've re run make clean install for my slstatus bar, same output:

ld: error: undefined symbol: kvm_openfiles
>>> referenced by swap.c
>>>               components/swap.o:(getswapinfo)

ld: error: undefined symbol: kvm_getswapinfo

Stop.

You should edit config.mk and adjust as follows. Also, there is a note for FreeBSD. I'm having same errors unless I apply the adjustment for FreeBSD too.

# OpenBSD: add -lsndio
# FreeBSD: add -lkvm -lsndio
LDLIBS   = -lX11 >>>>> LDLIBS   = -lX11 -lkvm -lsndio
