Operating System - Linux
Severity - Low
Priority - Normal
Reported Version - git/master
Due in Version - Undecided
Due Date - Undecided
Details - Hi
Im a new convert to dynamic WMs and also quite new to bug tracking and
compiling stuff in linux. So please excuse me if I make any unforgivible errors
in this report.
OK here goes.
I tried to compile the latest developement version of awesome but was stopped
by the following.
running make produced:
-- checking for module 'xcb>=1.1.0'
-- package 'xcb>=1.1.0' not found
so a quick google later I glone the git repository at
git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xcb/util
and proceed to build and install. However even after that and a couple of
reboots to be sure make still produces:
-- checking for module 'xcb>=1.1.0'
-- package 'xcb>=1.1.0' not found
Eventually I found that you seem to use pkg-config to check for the library
versions so I did some googleing and manpaging and finaly ran:
pkg-config --modversion xcb
and that produced: 1.1
some more mucking about and I find that if I change the requirement in 'awesomeConfig.cmake' on line 129 - 130 from
pkg_check_modules(AWESOME_COMMON_REQUIRED REQUIRED
xcb>=1.1.0)
to
pkg_check_modules(AWESOME_COMMON_REQUIRED REQUIRED
xcb>=1.1)
I can compile.
I am filing this report from awesome in ubuntu 8.10 after using that hack to
compile. I havent noticed any ill effects of the change yet, but It not really
like I tried with another version of xcb either.
I hope somebody that understands the processes involved can sort this out since
I really dont know what the implications of dropping the 0 at the end might be.
Hope this helps,
Sias
