@alerque that's awesome news

alerque commented on 2022-02-03 20:41 (UTC)

I just moved lua-lgi to [community]. That or lua-lgi-git from here on the AUR both seem to work fine with this awesome-git build as of now.

If anybody wants to contribute a patch to backport the Lua 5.4 stuff to Awesome 4.3 so we can get it in official packages before the upstream gets around to a release I'm open to submissions.

alerque commented on 2022-02-03 18:18 (UTC) (edited on 2022-02-03 18:52 (UTC) by alerque)

Hopefully lua-lgi will be coming to official repos soon...the last tag seems to be patchable to work with Lua 5.4 but I keep coming up with new issues. If I can get it to work then the packaged awesome release should be able to switch to 5.4 too.

suffer commented on 2022-02-03 15:52 (UTC)

@oncomouse You're right. I can build with aurutils but not makepkg alone. I guess there's always uninstall, build, install.

oncomouse commented on 2022-02-03 15:36 (UTC)

@Kritiqual the trick to getting this to work is to uninstall awesome-git, uninstall lua53-lgi, then reinstall awesome-git. That worked for me.

oncomouse commented on 2022-02-03 14:44 (UTC)

@suffer runningmakepkg -src with awesome-git yields the error that dependency lua-lgi is missing, even if I run makepkg -src first with lua-lgi-git.

suffer commented on 2022-02-03 07:19 (UTC)

@Kritiqual All fine here. Try building both (lua-lgi-git and awesome-git) first separately with makepkg -src. Then install together with pacman -U. This will avoid the conflict since you are providing both together.

Kritiqual commented on 2022-02-03 06:39 (UTC) (edited on 2022-02-03 15:07 (UTC) by Kritiqual)

For the new version (4.3.1347 - too long), it requires lua-lgi-git, but the old version requires lua53-lgi. If I upgrade awesome, it told me that lua-lgi-git is in conflict with lua53-lgi, and it also ask me to remove conflicting package. I chose either "y" or "n", it will cancel the process Edit: I dropped into another tty, uninstall the current version, and rebuild it, lol

suffer commented on 2021-03-29 21:25 (UTC)

@raven2cz 5.4 is Arch's default Lua (and has been for a while), Awesome still requires 5.3. They made changes to the build system to make it easier to build against non-default versions of Lua.

raven2cz commented on 2021-03-28 10:14 (UTC)

The PKGBUILD needs update. According to https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/pull/3279

https://www.reddit.com/r/awesomewm/comments/mexdzf/awesomegit_cannot_be_compiled_from_the_morning/

The lua 5.4 is default now. The build has to use new build option. Sed is cannot be used now.

suffer commented on 2021-03-28 09:54 (UTC)

Does not build. Upstream changes: https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/pull/3279

Hkyx commented on 2020-09-11 15:49 (UTC)

it don't fail but it put some breaking changes since the last update like some apps as MS Teams got a black screen when sharing a screen.

aDogCalledSpot commented on 2020-08-06 12:42 (UTC)

lgi currently only has experimental lua 5.4 support, so we should make this package use lua 5.3 until this is fixed

Night commented on 2020-08-06 12:08 (UTC) (edited on 2020-08-06 12:24 (UTC) by Night)

I seem to get this error when I build now (it's just stopped working (Upstream related?)):

[ 0%] Building C object CMakeFiles/test-gravity.dir/tests/test-gravity.c.o make[2]: No rule to make target '/usr/lib/liblua.so.5.3', needed by 'test-gravity'. Stop. make[1]: [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:499: CMakeFiles/test-gravity.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:149: all] Error 2 ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

I think it might be because Lua has been upgraded in the main repos to 54 now?: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/lua/

I can see that there's a 5.4 version coming along soon maybe https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/tree/lua54

brneor commented on 2019-01-29 16:57 (UTC)

Why is this package older than stable? It wasn't supposed to be the "beta" version?

actionless commented on 2017-06-04 01:35 (UTC)

pinning lua penlight to 1.4.1 also helps

ahrs commented on 2017-04-09 22:43 (UTC)

This failed to build at the documentation generation stage for me. Passing `-DGENERATE_DOC=0` to cmake allowed the build to continue.

actionless commented on 2016-11-09 22:34 (UTC)

yup, i don't mind confirming what repo versions of both `ldoc` and `lua-lgi` are working fine now

hexchain commented on 2016-11-08 08:21 (UTC)

@trollixx It seems that all those issues are fixed in lgi 0.9.1? Plus, ldoc 1.4.6 fixed the doc generation error.

trollixx commented on 2016-11-04 14:46 (UTC)

Added `xcb-util-xrm`, and switched to `ldoc-git`. @actionless, would you like to co-maintain this package?

mony commented on 2016-11-04 05:02 (UTC)

using ldoc-git solves the problem

actionless commented on 2016-11-03 12:40 (UTC)

@hexchain see how to reproduce the problem with an older lgi https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/issues/577#issuecomment-213720683

actionless commented on 2016-11-03 12:38 (UTC) (edited on 2016-11-03 12:38 (UTC) by actionless)

@trollixx please add a new dependency `xcb-util-xrm` see https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/pull/1202

actionless commented on 2016-11-03 12:37 (UTC)

@l0b0 ldoc issue is not related to lgi, see https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/issues/1098

l0b0 commented on 2016-11-02 08:47 (UTC)

hexchain commented on 2016-10-18 04:58 (UTC) (edited on 2016-10-19 05:37 (UTC) by hexchain)

Is it still required that this package be built with lua-lgi-git? It seems that 0.9.1 is enough.

hexchain commented on 2016-10-09 04:48 (UTC)

ldoc 1.4.5 is broken according to https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/issues/1098

ptrxyz commented on 2016-10-02 21:40 (UTC)

Does not build anymore, adding -DGENERATE_DOC=False fixes that. Maybe some incompatibilities with current versions of ldoc?

@hexchain @trollix that was a problem with cmake config, it should be fixed by now

@hexchain, I've just built this package unchanged with yaourt. So, something else is wrong. Have tried to building with makepkg?

@Loy, Doxygen generates API docs. Check /usr/share/doc/awesome/doc/.

Loy commented on 2016-03-10 14:13 (UTC)

Why depends of doxygen for compilation ??

trollixx commented on 2016-01-16 19:22 (UTC)

The version is irrelevant for *-git packages. `git describe` picks up the latest tag in the master branch, while all post-3.5.2 tags live in 3.5 branch, hence the difference.

captainju commented on 2016-01-15 16:46 (UTC)

Why is the version still 3.5.2.539 ? Or 3.5.2-976 when I build it ? Or 3.5.2.554 in PKGBUILD ? Shouldn't it be at least 3.5.7 ?

trollixx commented on 2015-07-25 01:32 (UTC)

@konni, done!

konni commented on 2015-07-22 19:58 (UTC)

makepkg has issues to checkout the git repo unless i modify the source line to: source=("$pkgname::git+https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome.git"), according to the arch wiki.

trollixx commented on 2015-06-25 05:24 (UTC)

@Liberis Thanks for reporting the problem. I am currently moving across the country, and I will update the package as soon can.

Liberis commented on 2015-06-22 17:23 (UTC)

Fails to Compile : http://pastebin.com/9WwWRTJ3 Added package extra/libxkbcommon-x11 and it works again :) I think a dependency is missing

trollixx commented on 2015-05-22 21:25 (UTC)

@ericlnu I have copied Lua 5.3 change from the main repository, and it builds fine for me. I've also reuploaded the same src package, because AUR showed old PKGBUILD somehow.

ericlnu commented on 2015-05-22 21:02 (UTC)

I checked the cmake stuff, and it should be "LUA_LIBRARIES=/usr/lib/liblua.so.5.3" (for x64 obviously), in addition to the comment from MRMen.

MrMen commented on 2015-05-17 08:02 (UTC)

I think you should modifiy the -DLUA_LIBRARY to use 5.3 instead of 5.2. Doing it, it now compiles for me.

trollixx commented on 2015-02-24 21:43 (UTC)

@silverhammermba, fixed.

silverhammermba commented on 2015-02-24 20:43 (UTC)

Why doesn't this have conflicts=('awesome')? It won't let me upgrade from awesome to awesome-git without that.

trollixx commented on 2015-02-21 00:55 (UTC)

Unfortunately, 3.5.2 is the latest tag in the master branch, and I missed pkgver() in the previous PKGBUILD.

actionless commented on 2015-02-18 21:32 (UTC)

why did you reverted the version now?

actionless commented on 2015-02-18 09:51 (UTC)

you lost "provides=awesome" part

trollixx commented on 2015-02-18 09:19 (UTC)

@actionless, I've synchronised this package with the one in 'community'. Let me know if it's missing anything. Documentation should build fine now.

actionless commented on 2015-02-18 07:39 (UTC)

i can take it also, no one still added ldoc

jpope commented on 2014-12-06 02:30 (UTC)

I just adopted this package but, I don't really use awesome. If anyone has suggestions let me know. Or, an active user of awesome that wants ownership, let me know as well. Just didn't like seeing this one out there being orphaned. ;)

actionless commented on 2014-11-01 16:23 (UTC)

what about adding 'ldoc' as an optional dep? without it no offline docs being builded

Dasonk commented on 2014-10-06 00:01 (UTC)

You should add git as a make dependency

cdemoulins commented on 2013-10-28 09:52 (UTC)

Please, could you add the required dependency 'xcb-util-cursor-git' or enventually orphaned the package if you don't use it anymore. Thanks anyway for this package.

j605 commented on 2013-10-26 09:58 (UTC)

As per KaiSforza's suggestion pkgver can be modified as pkgver() { cd ${srcdir}/${_pkgname} ver=$(git describe | tr '-' '.') echo ${ver:1} }

aignas commented on 2013-10-05 14:56 (UTC)

In case it helps anybody, this is the version I am using now: http://pastebin.com/50YEPReT

DrDeimos commented on 2013-09-20 16:24 (UTC)

New dependency: xcb-util-cursor-git I do not know what this dependency package or build only.

commented on 2013-09-17 21:25 (UTC)

It no longer uses xcb-util-image http://git.naquadah.org/?p=awesome.git;a=commit;h=bcea1aab66ec9fa8253ab078f9a766451c7e2a48

KaiSforza commented on 2013-04-10 21:50 (UTC)

Please do not use this pkgver function. Awesome has tags in its git repo, so a $git describe v3.5.1-1-g2d31033 just get rid of the v and change the -'s to .'s and you're good to go. Using the date is just stupid when you can use an actual package version number.

cdemoulins commented on 2013-01-09 16:01 (UTC)

You have to update awesome-git to the last version now.

krionux commented on 2013-01-09 11:02 (UTC)

Thanks I did work for me, still seiing "missing dependency for awesome-git : lgi" trough. Thanks cdemoulins

cdemoulins commented on 2013-01-08 23:09 (UTC)

To fix the conflict issue you have to remove with the option -Rdd and then install lua-lgi. # pacman -Rdd lgi-git # pacman -S lua-lgi

gbr commented on 2013-01-08 04:00 (UTC)

I'll wait for an answer to @khughitt's question before updating...

khughitt commented on 2013-01-04 11:43 (UTC)

Same issue here. Is is safe to change lua-lgi to lgi-git in the PKGBUILD?

Mnay thx.

khughitt commented on 2012-12-13 12:29 (UTC)

Okay, problem is due to vicious using lua 5.1 by default. The git version supports lua 5.2, but will still be installed in the 5.1 folder, so you have to edit the PKGBUILD and change the version number: _luaver="5.2" And it should work.

khughitt commented on 2012-12-13 12:05 (UTC)

Updating broke compatibility with vicious for me: /home/.../rc.lua:15: module 'vicious' not found: no field package.preload['vicious'] ... no file './vicious.so' I'm only just learning my way around Awesome now so it could be something really silly on my part, but I thought I would put this up in case it is something that should work. Gonna try updating to vicious-git in the meantime.

commented on 2012-12-13 09:24 (UTC)

I have problem with widget/base/lua:28 too. I update all from last post (lgi,ldoc,lua-penlight). How can resolve this problem?

noonov commented on 2012-12-13 07:10 (UTC)

Some works for lua 5.2 migration. Althlough awesome-git may be built with no modification, awesome fails to run unless upgrading lgi-git package for lua 5.2. sed -i 's/5.1/5.2/g' lgi/Makefile may be enough. Here's the modified version of PKGBUILD (lgi-git): http://pastebin.com/hH4TKtVq ** Please build-and-install it before running awesome! ** As for ldoc, migration tasks are somewhat bothersome. You'll have to install modified version of lua-penlight-git and then install ldoc-git (is not in AUR). So I decided to drop local doc support. For those who need local doc, use these PKGBUILDs (lua-penlight-git/ldoc-git): http://pastebin.com/8WvXTGm8 http://pastebin.com/crWpHHD0

noonov commented on 2012-12-13 07:08 (UTC)

commented on 2012-11-24 10:33 (UTC)

Just wanted to drop a line to let you know that upstream changed some things following these commits (in case you hadn't checked in a while); Use LDoc instead of Luadoc (FS#1006): http://git.naquadah.org/?p=awesome.git;a=commit;h=c87e775e4680b7f75233e97862cfe2717cab36a2 Use glib instead of libev: http://git.naquadah.org/?p=awesome.git;a=commit;h=ea3011941063f2b4f7721fa520a0b9a4069b436f Homepage for LDoc: https://github.com/stevedonovan/LDoc The first one is causing issues as there are no packages in Arch for LDoc. LDoc requires the penlight libraries (by the same author as LDoc) which are in AUR but that package is somewhat outdated (as I found out). https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lua-penlight/ I hacked together my own PKGBUILD for LDoc and penlight but they seem to be erring out when I build awesome. I'm not the best PKGBUILD'er plus I'm using a slightly modded version of your PKGBUILD (with luajit as a backend) so it could be on my end. I just wanted to report my findings to save you a possible headache in the future. For now I have luadoc taken out and it's building successfully albeit without documentation. Thanks

cdemoulins commented on 2012-11-11 14:58 (UTC)

You should check if luadoc is properly installed. And you should also copy the full output into pastebin.

I believe 'notification-daemon' should be added to the 'provides' array, as awesome provides that package.

Could you consider adding integration with KDM? It's just a matter of another *.desktop file. http://pastebin.com/tsHWELWa

commented on 2012-06-13 07:52 (UTC)

I think you can drop lua-oocairo and lua-oopango from deps too. It builds fine with both lgi and lgi-git, so I'm not sure which should be used.

cocreature commented on 2012-06-05 13:53 (UTC)

lgi-git needs to be updated to the dependencies. Problem is that lgi-git doesn't build without modifying the pkgbuild so nobody should update.

noonov commented on 2012-06-03 02:10 (UTC)

libxcb rebuild @ever: fixed.

Please change the source url to a http one. Else people behind a firewall (but with a working http proxy) cannot build it.

I'm back and with my problem solved! :D After this commit <http://git.naquadah.org/?p=awesome.git;a=commit;h=f7aa4b59696e2d2e3f93c3f71fdbf1cf98e8b212>, something went wrong. I do not know what 'ARGB' means, but I know this is bad. :P So, after A LOT of researching, I make it working 100% again. I modified this actual PKGBUILD (20120512-1): <http://pastebin.com/mW96yxHw> and also created a patch (even not knowing how exactly to do it right) to reverts that commit: <http://pastebin.com/CrAJvPR7>

gbr commented on 2012-05-14 04:24 (UTC)

Hi... after I updated to version 20120512-1, I noticed a decrease in performance at selecting/resizing/moving the windows... I actually do not know if the problem happened after the update, but I want to downgrade the package to check it out. So my question is: how can I do that? How can I get the previous version of this PKGBUILD? Thanks in advance. (I'm sorry for my english)

Hi, Since cairo-xcb doesn't exist, shouldn't the dependency be changed to cairo-git ? Regards, krion

cdemoulins commented on 2012-05-02 09:30 (UTC)

Your should ask your questions on the awesome mailing list. Or you could read the git log of the awesome repository. Don't forget, your are using a git version of awesome.

Hspak commented on 2012-05-02 01:51 (UTC)

What happened to widget.layouts? set_gradient_colors also seem to be gone. Is there documentation somewhere that states all these changes?

Hspak commented on 2012-04-27 02:02 (UTC)

I believe you just add '--enable-xlib-xcb' as a build option in the PKGBUILD. I haven't tried this so I can't confirm.

commented on 2012-04-25 00:37 (UTC)

I'm using cairo-ubuntu for the lcd patches. Can I still get cairo-xcb without uninstalling cairo-ubuntu?

cdemoulins commented on 2012-04-16 11:08 (UTC)

I didn't tested but you can install the current testing version of cairo 1.12.0-4. It provide cairo-xcb.

commented on 2011-12-07 10:01 (UTC)

@noonov, @Strafer i solved my problem in the meantime: during one of my cleanups i deleted /etc/xml/catalog as it didn't belong to any package. turns out it's necessary for xml validation. and the good news is: xcb-util-0.8 hit extra, yay.

Strafer commented on 2011-12-06 16:58 (UTC)

@noonov >I can't reproduce the problem. Anyone else have this problem? Yes.

noonov commented on 2011-11-28 07:11 (UTC)

Here's some news. 1. I've swithed lua-oocairo/oopango-git to stable lua-oocairo/oopango. Now lua-oocairo/oopango-git will NOT satisfy dependencies of awesome-git, because lua-oocairo/oopango-git in AUR do not 'provide' lua-oocairo/oopango. So all users must do: pacman -Rdd lua-oo{cairo,pango}-git && yaourt -S --asdeps lua-oo{cairo,pango} Sorry for inconvenience. 2. xcb-util-0.3.8 finally in [testing]. Someone who want to use awesome-git with testing/xcb-util will have to do: pacman -Sy --asdeps testing/xcb-util{,-image,-keysyms,-wm} testing/startup-notification Note that upgrading of startup-notification is required.

dante4d commented on 2011-08-28 15:43 (UTC)

@execve Nice to hear that. I'd be happier without the lib problem, but I don't have enough insinght into xcb and awesome architecture to slove it right now.

commented on 2011-08-24 15:19 (UTC)

1. install xcb-util-git and xcb-util-*-git from AUR 2. make softlink: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libxcb-util.so /usr/lib/libxcb-aux.so.0 3. use awesome 4. ??? 5. PROFIT!!! @dante4d yeap, your solution probably works too. libxcb-aux.so was merged in libxcb-util.so in new versions of xcb-util

dante4d commented on 2011-08-22 21:56 (UTC)

I made separate git packages for xcb-utils, xcb-utils-image, xcb-utils-keysyms and xcb-utils-wm. They work for me except I had to symlink libxcb-util.so to libxcb-util.so.0 so awesome doesn't complain about missing library. I'd be happy to hear if that works for someone else except me.

itti commented on 2011-08-04 07:28 (UTC)

Any news on when the new xcb versions will enter the arch repositories?

noonov commented on 2011-07-18 12:01 (UTC)

@Mrs.Smith1974 See yiuin's comment on xcb-util-all. (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49048) You can also install xcb-util* separately if you want to. Build && install xcb-util* using src tarballs. (xcb-util should be installed before building xcb-util-image.) src tarballs here (Thanks to cdemoulins): http://archivel.fr/xcb-util-0.3.8-1.src.tar.gz http://archivel.fr/xcb-util-image-0.3.8-1.src.tar.gz http://archivel.fr/xcb-util-keysyms-0.3.8-1.src.tar.gz http://archivel.fr/xcb-util-wm-0.3.8-1.src.tar.gz

Mr.Smith1974 commented on 2011-07-16 08:27 (UTC)

No package 'xcb-util' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XCB_UTIL_CFLAGS and XCB_UTIL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. ==> ОШИБКА: Произошел сбой в build(). Преждевременный выход... ==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build xcb-util-all.

yiuin commented on 2011-07-15 21:43 (UTC)

To get everything to work properly I also had to recompile startup-notification (rebuild) after installing xcb-util-all otherwise it will link with xcb-util-aux which has been merged into the other libraries.

*IMPORTANT* Latest version of awesome-git is NOT able to build with xcb-util<=0.3.6.

A change in the semantics of cmake from 2.8.3 to 2.8.4 makes the build fail currently. see upstream bug FS#869. https://awesome.naquadah.org/bugs/index.php?do=details&task_id=869.

root_op commented on 2011-01-21 19:40 (UTC)

Just wanted to point out something regarding awesome4, people might experience some issues with getting transparency from compositors to work, this is due to that awesome now creates and manages clients with a new method different from what it used before. What it now does is basicly forcefully gain parenting of the client. This however removes the 32bit color depth support (Not sure why but ask on #awesome@oftc if in doubt). This has however been resolved by making use of ARBG in X. There was vary result from this however, some experienced rendering artifacts and some didn't at all. Although it's disabled by default. To get to the point: If you want or require transparency through the additional 8bit alpha channel then prepend the argument -a or --no-argb to awesome. (Awesome-git should really get it's own wikipage since master/head is Awesome4)

Svenstaro commented on 2010-12-03 19:07 (UTC)

Getting an error during make while making manpages. Looks like an upstream fault.

commented on 2010-09-29 19:06 (UTC)

The bug report I filed has been closed and is fixed with a recent commit. It appears this was a problem with LuaDoc that may or may not have been intended; either way it will never be changed because LuaDoc is no longer developed. A link to the commit is below. I've built the package and it compiles just fine. http://git.naquadah.org/?p=awesome.git;a=commit;h=787bdbe4684340407ce7b36c51005405f9ab620f

Also you can disable luadoc generation to solve this issue (which is still here) by passing -DGENERATE_LUADOC=false to cmake.

Here's the updated PKGBUILD using cairo-xcb, lua-oocairo-git, and lua-oopango-git. http://pastebin.com/C8ReFkTL

commented on 2010-09-10 18:30 (UTC)

Grabbing cairo-xcb instead of cairo solved a few of the problems, but it doesn't like the existing oocairo package, and oopango hasn't been packaged yet. I'm working on getting up to date versions of those on the AUR.

TiF commented on 2010-09-10 09:45 (UTC)

I can't compile the package because no all dependencies have been included in the new version 'Close to You'.

xduugu commented on 2010-06-19 21:55 (UTC)

'Closing In' is 3.4.5 which is developed in the 3.4 branch, but this package uses master. Since there aren't any 3.5-rcs yet, the codename in master is still the one from the last major release.

commented on 2010-06-19 17:06 (UTC)

The PKGBUILD seems to download an out of date version of Awesome: name Closing In, rather than Close To You. Another user confirmed this in IRC a few nights ago. The git url seems to be right, so I have no idea what the problem is.
