Re: [SOLVED] problems building awesome-git

Looks like some library is missing. I don't know if the dependencies on the PKGBUILD are right, so I ran ldd on my /usr/bin/awesome and the libraries it returns come from the following packages:

cairo
dbus-core
e2fsprogs
expat
fontconfig
freetype2
glib2
glibc
imlib2
libev
libice
libpng
libsm
libx11
libxau
libxcb
libxdg-basedir
libxdmcp
libxext
libxrender
lua
pango
pcre
pixman
startup-notification
xcb-util
zlib

Do you have all of those installed? (There's also a linux-vdso.so.1 reported that I don't know where it is.)

I left a comment on the AUR page for awesome-git saying that recently (past few days), I've had to install newer versions of a bunch of packages (newer than are on the Arch repos, I had to build them myself...but using the official PKGBUILDs and upping the versions tended to suffice). But the build errors I was getting are different than yours. Mine was about a variable  LIBXCB_something_or_other_EVENT_something that seemed not to be in the library versions I was linking against.

Re: [SOLVED] problems building awesome-git

Yes, this has been fixed in git. The workaround I posted in the mailing list is no longer necessary.
