services.xserver.windowManager.dwm.enable = true;

(final: prev: {
dwm = prev.dwm.overrideAttrs (old: { src = /home/erik/.config/arco-chadwm/chadwm ;});
})
];

Additional context

Add any other context about the problem here.

Arch Linux has a file called Imlib2.h
Nixos does not have that file

referring to this file will break the build

The dwm package does not have Imlib2 as a package dependency, this is not a dwm or Imlib2 package related issue.
Look into overriding to include Imlib2 as a dependency for dwm.

I do believe Imlib2 is installed but we are missing a file imlib2.h

If you download the imlib2 package from deepin sourceforge and extract it we see it is part of the scr/lib files

https://sourceforge.net/projects/enlightenment/files/imlib2-src/

When I try to find this file on NixOS I can not find it.

I thought I should change the path to the folder/file. But if there is no imlib2.h file.

Just wondering if I overlooked it or if it is just not available on NixOS.

Imlib2 is installed on the system via this way - I believe?

No, that is not how you install libraries, you must override the package itself that needs it.

Also you do not need an overlay, just use something like https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Dwm

[erikdubois]

and the fact that imlib2 is missing a file is not the issue?

[eclairevoyant]

Nothing would be missing if the package was correctly overridden, Imlib2.h is present in the .dev output, which is correctly picked when you add imlib2 to the buildInputs of the package.

(NB grep is also case-sensitive, but that's not the main concern here.)

I think I know what you mean.
Since this is too difficult for me I have requested this package.
#282239
I will close this issue for now.
