awesome build fails in generated_icons.dir

[chris@…]

Hi

I have tried to drill down the problem, but I can't make it work alone. I would be thankful if someone could take a look into the attached logfile. I think it is a bug.

port install awesome +x11_xcb+universal

Please remember to use WikiFormatting.

The relevant error from the log seems to be:

make[3]: *** No rule to make target `themes/default/titlebar/close_normal.png', needed by `CMakeFiles/generated_icons'.  Stop.

This can be worked around by adding this to patch-CMakeLists.txt.diff (found this by googling the problem...Can't remember whether I found this on a gentoo forum or on the Awesome bugs comments): (The problem should of course by solved upstream but I think it might have been already)

After having worked around the problem with above patch, I then ran into a problem whereby the link stage couldn't complete successfully. The problem was that libiconv wasn't being specified as a link parameter. I added '-liconv' to the LINK_FLAGS in the cmake file which managed to complete the build, but I don't know enough about cmake or macports build parameters to come up with a 'real' solution. P.S. apologies for not using an appropriate markup tag for the code above.

I try to install awesome 3.4.4 and the CMakeLists.txt looks different. Which version did you install?

Sorry I forgot to mention that critical piece of information! I am using 3.4.9, which is the latest stable version at this time.

Maintainer has retired. Did this end up being fixed in 3.4.10?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Is this still a problem with 3.4.11?

I just checked and it compiles fine now. I don't know if it will run also, because I never had the chance to figure out a configuration. If you know a good howto, pls. let me know.

I'm afraid I don't know anything about using awesome.
