installing cairo-xcb problem

leercrak · 2010-12-19 21:53:59

when in the cairo-xcb directory i sudo makepkg --asroot and after a minute started getting this

and ive tried installing cairo-xcb a couple of times and after a full install i think the problem is i had the non git package and i accidentally did ./autogen.sh instead of the correct ./configure

i also get alot of this

Delete the entire directory, download the awesome tarball from here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41362

and follow these instructions: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AU … g_packages

# edit I just built it myself: first install cairo-xcb by the method described above, and then awesome compiles without any issues

leercrak · 2010-12-19 23:09:58

here is where im at and want to make sure im in the right direction.

sudo tar -xvzf cairo-xcb.tar.gz

cd cairo-xcb

sudo makepkg -s --asroot

and the files inside cairo-xcb are

[leercrak@leercrak cairo-xcb]$ ls
cairo-1.10.0-buggy_gradients.patch cairo-xcb-1.10.0-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz PKGBUILD
cairo-1.10.0.tar.gz pkg src

what i would do next is "tar -xvzf cairo-1.10.0.tar.gz" then "sudo pacman -U cairo-xcb-1.10.0-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz" and then cd cairo-1.10.0.tar.gz and continue to unpack and tar everything.this is what i was doing before so i wanted to check

edit: im also doing all of this from kde.

You need to follow the links I posted above: it took me about 5 mins to compile and install awesome.

You don't need to extract packages as root - or run makepkg as root:

man makepkg wrote:

--asroot
Allow makepkg to run as root. This is for security purposes as it is normally dangerous to do so. This will also disable use of fakeroot and sudo.

Just follow the instructions on the wiki to the letter and it will work.

im in cairo-xcb/cairo-0.10.0 and i just ran ./configure heres a couple things i think i need to address
