It seems libxdg did not install correctly. Can you remove both versions using eg. pkgtool program and them we'll try to install it again.
I removed both versions using pkgtool and re-installed the latest version of libxdg. After installing, I tried to make awesomewm again but with the same results. I ran updatedb and find basedir.h - no such file found. :S
How exactly did you install libxdg-basedir?
Can you grab the source and use src2pkg? I've just tried it on a fresh install of slackware in a virtual machine. You should have:

Well I removed it again and rebuilt using src2pkg again and for some reason this time it worked? In previous installs I had used su and then installed the pkg from root. This time the only difference I did was use sudo to installpkg. Did this place libxdg-basedir in an unaccessible root folder make could not access?
Thanks for the help sycamorex! Looking good so far, hung up again at 61% but I'll try to troubleshoot it a bit more before coming back to the forums.
Glad this has been sorted. Whenever I build any packages I always use 'su -' to make sure I'm in a complete root environment including all the paths, etc.
What is stuck at 61%? Have you done all the steps that were mentioned in the tutorial?

I have, it seems to be luadoc that is hanging up. Output below:

I think the make is looking in the wrong directory. According to this site, I have to revise a config file which I've yet to do. Thanks for the package root tip.
I took notes when installing Slackware in a VM at work. This is for installing latest git version of awesome using my own slackbuilds and sbopkg when appropriate:
Code:
* recompile cairo with xcb support
# cd $SLACKWARE_TREE/source/l/cairo
edit cairo.SlackBuild to add --enable-xcb \ in the list of ./configure options
# ./cairo.SlackBuild
# upgradepkg --reinstall /tmp/cairo*.txz
* upgrade startup-notification
# cd $SLACKWARE_TREE/source/l/startup-notification
# wget -c http://www.freedesktop.org/software/startup-notification/releases/startup-notification-0.12.tar.gz
# gunzip startup-notification-0.12.tar.gz
# bzip2 startup-notification-0.12.tar
# VERSION=0.12 ./startup-notification.SlackBuild
# upgradepkg /tmp/startup-notification-*.txz
* upgrade xcb-util
** get the sources
