I have installed cairo +x11_xcb and all the packages given by "port search xcb".

Yeah, apparently the property API was removed: ​http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xcb/util-old/commit/?id=38a5dc83a861d041f78257cf554d4ae4c75aece2

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

The ​awesome 3.4.10 changelog says they stopped using it, so this should just require a version bump.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Which conveniently already exists in #29558.

Beeing very new to macports... How do I use it ?

[timelzayus@…]

The patch did help with the configure, but the build fails. I pasted the error in the #29558 thread

Marking as duplicate of #29558
