Building Awesome 3.5 from Source in Debian Sid
//
debian, awesome, stupid wiki
Edited on
So here's a small how to based on previous rage post with Awesome 3.5
First, install dependencies: (stupid debian wiki not listing every one of them)
sudo apt-get install cmake liblua5.1-dev imagemagick libxcb-randr0-dev libxcb-xtest0-dev libxcb-xinerama0-dev libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-keysyms1-dev libxcb-icccm4-dev libx11-xcb-dev lua-lgi-dev libstartup-notification0-dev libxdg-basedir-dev libxcb-image0-dev libxcb-util0-dev libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev lua5.1 libxcb-cursor-dev libcairo2-dev
Fetch the source from git with:
git clone git://git.naquadah.org/awesome.git cd awesome git remote add origin-debian git://git.debian.org/git/users/acid/awesome.git git fetch origin-debian
Let's build it!
cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr -DSYSCONFDIR=/etc && make
Then install it with:
sudo make install sudo ldconfig -v
Ta-da! You are done.
