When to do “make clean install” for DWM window manager this happens. Does anyone know what to do?

make clean install
rm -f dwm drw.o dwm.o util.o dwm-6.5.tar.gz
cc -c -std=c99 -pedantic -Wall -Wno-deprecated-declarations -Os -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include/freetype2 -D_DEFAULT_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=700L -DVERSION="6.5" -DXINERAMA drw.c
drw.c:6:10: fatal error: X11/Xft/Xft.h: No such file or directory

| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make: *** [Makefile:12: drw.o] Error 1

Install libXft-devel

I didn’t get that “Xft” was the key characters there. I guess it has been a while since I’ve seen dependency errors. I just installed libXft-devel and then libXinerama-devel and it built fine now. Thank You.
