I am very close to building i3 4.8 on centos 6.5, and will post my procedures once I get them to be clean. I’ve successfully built i3 4.8 in the past on ubuntu 14.04, but am now moving to centos 6.5.
I am seeing the error message included at the bottom of this e-mail. I found the following link that is related: http://infra.in.zekjur.net/pipermail/i3-discuss/2013-February/001199.html Within that chain of emails Michael indicates that the following command will fix the problem: git submodule update –init I am not using git, so this command will not help me. I started with a bare vanilla installation of centos. Once I downloaded i3 4.8 I modified common.mk to disable pango. I then downloaded and built the following packages (I’ve indicated the version that I have downloaded and the version range provided in the i3 DEPENDS file): pango disabled cairo 1.12.2 depends 1.12.2 - 1.12.2 pixman 0.22.0 depends not specified (was needed for cairo) yajl 2.0.4 depends 2.0.1 - 2.0.4 libxcb 1.7 depends 1.1.93 - 1.7 xcb-util 0.3.8 depends 0.3.3 - 0.3.8 xcb-util-cursor 0.1.1 depends 0.0.99 - 0.0.99 libev 4.11 depends 4.0 - 4.11 I actually tried 0.0.99 for xcb-util-cursor, but ran into another small problem that disappeared with 0.1.1. Anyways I don’t think this is the source of my current issue. The exact links for the files I downloaded and built are: http://cairographics.org/releases/cairo-1.12.2.tar.xz http://cairographics.org/releases/pixman-0.22.0.tar.gz http://github.com/lloyd/yajl/zipball/2.0.4 http://xcb.freedesktop.org/dist/libxcb-1.7.tar.bz2 http://xcb.freedesktop.org/dist/xcb-util-0.3.8.tar.bz2 http://xcb.freedesktop.org/dist/xcb-util-cursor-0.1.1.tar.bz2 http://dist.schmorp.de/libev/Attic/libev-4.11.tar.gz I have successfully gotten past most of my compile issues.
