Re: [SOLVED]AWN Extra Applets and ObShutdown

Actual error messages would be helpful.

EDIT:
I just tried obshutdown - I wasn't going to install all the dependencies for the other one just to see if I could replicate an error you didn't show.

I did get one error about glib.h.  It took a single sed command to fix it and it built fine.

In the PKGBUILD you can edit build() as follows:

build() {
	cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver/_/-}"
	./configure \
		--prefix=/usr
	sed -i 's|glib/gtypes.h|glib.h|' ./src/*
	make
}

EDIT2: and then, if you are feeling helpful, email this change, or the link to this thread, to the author of the PKGBUILD as it needs an update.
