WARNING
=======
The lgi check failed.
The Lua GObject introspection package is just a runtime dependency, so it is not
necessary for building awesome. However, awesome needs it to run.
Add AWESOME_IGNORE_LGI=1 to your environment to continue.
I have the 'lua' package (with lua 5.1) installed (not 'lua52'). I have searched this forum about this error, but with no results. Why this error can happen and how can it be corrected?

Would you like to continue processing the rest of the
queue or would you like to abort? If this failed
package is a dependency of another package in the queue
then it may not make sense to continue.
The contents of the 'package-awesome/usr' directory is:

no. if you got no manpages (generated by docbook during the build) most probably is because you haven't made a full install of Slackware.
the script on SBo suppose that you have such platform (partial installs are not supported).
if you look above in the build log you can probably spot the error when it tries to build the manpages.
Yes, in the output of the 'configure' stage there were messages about not found doc related packages. After installing linuxdoc-tools, the package was installed OK. Many thanks!
