Thread: Attempting to install xcb 1.4 and other AwesomeWM deps on Slack64 13
Started 1 month, 3 weeks ago by conartist6
I am attempting to install libxcb 1.4 and xcb-utils 0.3.6 on slackware64 13.0. I have been stymied in pretty much every direction I turn so far. No packages exist for these tarballs for slackware at all, much less for slack64. Furthermore there are no slackbuilds scripts for libxcb.

Libxdg-basedir problem solved by moving /usr/lib files to /usr/lib64 before makepkg was run. Libstartupnotification problem found to be user error. .10 is the most recent version, but I was reading that as .010. Packaged and installed most recent to fill dep. Now installing ev (unlisted dep)

If you have question, remember to ask in #awesome at irc.oftc.net or send me a personal message, I have used most modules and know them well. I suggest to switch to shifty module early in your configuration if you want dynamic tagging and "easy" apps management, it is much harder to add it later on.
