libxdg in Slack 14.0

Hello fellow Slack users. I was actually just curious about something; Has anyone installed libxdg in Slackware64 14.0? I'm trying to install Awesome.

I used the attached slackbuild script to install libxdg-basedir-1.2.0 (as a dependency of i3wm)

Are you sure it has ever been i3's dependency?

I stand corrected; it was a dependency of dunst (notification daemon).

Ok, but don't I need the source as well?

Indeed, source can be had here:
https://github.com/devnev/libxdg-basedir/releases

EDIT: upon inspection of the buildscript I noticed that the source link does not exist any longer. So you have to get it from the github link and save it with the slackbuild in the same directory.

Here's where I got the slackbuild script from (and slack-desc as well as slack-required files, which may be needed for the script):
https://github.com/PhantomX/slackbui...libxdg-basedir

Seems I'm doing something wrong. I moved both the slackbuild and the source to a directory, chmod the slackbuild, run the slackbuild, receive this:

Code:

--2013-11-28 09:31:37--  http://n.ethz.ch/student/nevillm/download/libxdg-basedir/libxdg-basedir-1.2.0.tar.gz

HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found

2013-11-28 09:31:38 ERROR 404: Not Found.

So obviously the site is down. My internet connection is fine though.

That's strange.

I have the following:

Code:

# ls

libxdg-basedir-1.2.0.tar.gz

libxdg-basedir.Slackbuild

slack-desc

slack-required

and when I run the script it untar's the source archive:

Code:

# ./libxdg-basedir.Slackbuild

libxdg-basedir-1.2.0/

libxdg-basedir-1.2.0/doxygen.cfg

libxdg-basedir-1.2.0/config.guess

libxdg-basedir-1.2.0/tests/

libxdg-basedir-1.2.0/tests/queryrd.2

... etc ...

Did you get the correct version, i.e. libxdg-basedir-1.2.0.tar.gz ?

I did get version 1.2.0 yes. It turned out to be a problem with the file name. Once I fixed it, it started to work until I get this error now:

Code:

libxdg-basedir-libxdg-basedir-1.2.0/tests/queryds.5

libxdg-basedir-libxdg-basedir-1.2.0/tests/queryds.6

libxdg-basedir-libxdg-basedir-1.2.0/tests/queryrd.1

libxdg-basedir-libxdg-basedir-1.2.0/tests/queryrd.2

libxdg-basedir-libxdg-basedir-1.2.0/tests/testdump.c

libxdg-basedir-libxdg-basedir-1.2.0/tests/testfind.c

libxdg-basedir-libxdg-basedir-1.2.0/tests/testquery.c

./libxdg-basedir.Slackbuild: line 107: cd: libxdg-basedir-1.2.0: No such file or directory

This is line 107 of the slackbuild:

Code:

cd ${SRCDIR} || exit 1

That's because the archive is not extracted to libxdg-basedir-1.2.0/ but libxdg-basedir-libxdg-basedir-1.2.0/
My mistake for not checking the git archive I linked to.

Get the source file from my ftp server, it should extract fine and will work with the script:
[ url removed ]

Hope this helps.

Thanks it worked for me and I got it installed successfully. However when I went to compile the awesome packages I get this error:

Code:

I guess I missed a package? I read somewhere that I need libstartup-notification as well. I just installed this package:

Code:

startup-notification-0.12-x86_64-1.txz

But I'm still getting the same error when I try and run make, in the awesome directory.

I have no experience with awesome, but this is your clue:

Code:

-- package 'xcb-cursor' not found

which is part of xcb-util-cursor, another Slackware package.

I'd very much recommend you to do a full Slackware install.

Ok, well perhaps I will reinstall yet again. However, for the sake of this thread humor me for a moment. Because I'm pretty sure at this point that I've finally installed all the packages I need. I've installed the cursor util package. Once again ran make, and I've arrived at yet another error:

I've tried but I can't really seem to make sense of this particular error.

I've tried but I can't really seem to make sense of this particular error.

Code:

jprzybyl@fontane:~$ grep xcb-icccm /var/log/packages/*

/var/log/packages/xcb-util-wm-0.3.9-x86_64-1:usr/lib64/pkgconfig/xcb-icccm.pc

/var/log/packages/xcb-util-wm-0.3.9-x86_64-1:usr/lib64/libxcb-icccm.so.4.0.0

/var/log/packages/xcb-util-wm-0.3.9-x86_64-1:usr/lib64/libxcb-icccm.la

Have you installed xcb-util-wm?

Am I doing something wrong? The most recent packages such as: xcb-cursor, xcb-util-wm, startup-notification, so forth... have just been downloaded from the slackware package website, and immediately installed using installpkg xcb-util-cursor-0.1.0-x86_64-1.txz or whatever.

Because I'm still getting errors. How many packages do I need?
