how to enable rofi

I edited config.h file as below

// app launcher // rofi or dmenu #const char *menu[] = {"dmenu_run", 0}; const char *menu[] = {"rofi -show run", 0};

then

sudo make clean install rm -f qpwm *.o cc -std=c99 -Ofast -flto -march=native -funroll-loops -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -Wold-style-declaration -Wmissing-prototypes -Wno-unused-parameter -o qpwm qpwm.c -lX11 In file included from qpwm.c:89: config.h:19:2: error: invalid preprocessing directive #const 19 | #const char *menu[] = {"dmenu_run", 0}; | ^~~~~ make: *** [Makefile:13: qpwm] Error 1
