dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X. In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files. Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default). If you are going to use the default bluegray color scheme it is highly recommended to also install the bluegray files shipped in the dextra package.
