awesome dependency cairo-xcb

[jamesabernard@…]

Awesome WM not compiling because of missing dependency of cairo-xcb. As xcb is now supported in cairo, is this dependency now defective? I can't find way round, don't know how to change comile flags or whatever. Help would be appreciated.

I have figured this out:
install cairo +x11_xcb and then awesome will compile
Shouldn't cairo +x11_xcb be a dependency? as the standard cairo doesn't have xcb support?

[macports.org@…]

When preparing the patch to update awesome to version 3.3.3 I tried to include the variant dependency +x11_xcb and this is not yet supported by macports.
See FAQ and #126.
Apparently, adding a default variant x11_xcb with an empty variant block did not work either (I found this workaround somewhere on a mailing list. sorry, forgot the url).
The only solution I know is to create a new port cairo-xcb and change the dependency in awesome to cairo-xcb.

Can also confirm this issue on 2 machines.

XCB should probably be used all the time in cairo (unless X11 is disabled of course) now that that's done in libX11.

Patch for cairo attached.
