Hi everyone,
I like tracking the git branch of awesome, but it has recently failed to compile for me after the switch to lgi:
commit ca2fc7811ad769cc88ead583e099230f33f6c8a2Author: Uli Schlachter <psychon <at> znc.in>Date: Tue Jun 5 16:22:04 2012 +0200gears.surface: Add a version check for lgiThe cairo bindings are quite new in lgi and thus we depend on a quite newversion of lgi. Older versions will fail with lots of weird errors, e.g.:lib/gears/color.lua:61:attempt to call field 'create_rgba' (a nil value)Signed-off-by: Uli Schlachter <psychon <at> znc.in>
Some of the dependencies of the lgi code cannot be met at all on my aging Ubuntu installation.
I can't install the latest and greatest packages available on this system.
Does this mean I cannot run awesome-master anymore?
