I will certainly try that as well Sean. Thanks for pointing me to that. Now that I'm through the steps, and have documented them carefully, in some ways the source rpm will be a step back. However peeking into it may give me some clues relative to some of the questions I had.

Have you tried getting the Rawhide SRPM and building it? http://mirrors.tummy.com/pub/fedora.redhat.com/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/source/SRPMS/i/i3-4.8-5.fc22.src.rpm Then use "rpmbuild --rebuild i3-4.8-5.fc22.src.rpm". That's what I did to get 4.8 built on my Ubuntu system, but back-porting the dpkg instead of the SRPM. Leverage the work other's have already done.

I am now attempting to link. I got past a problem with a spurious -l by changing how I disabled pango. Apparently the proper way to disable pango is as follows (common.mk snippet): #PANGO_CFLAGS := $(call cflags_for_lib, cairo) #PANGO_CFLAGS += $(call cflags_for_lib, pangocairo) I3_CPPFLAGS += -DPANGO_SUPPORT=0 #PANGO_LIBS := $(call ldflags_for_lib, cairo) #PANGO_LIBS += $(call ldflags_for_lib, pangocairo) The link issue I am seeing is an undefined xcb symbol: [i3] Link i3 /usr/lib64/libxcb-render.so.0: undefined reference to `xcb_str_sizeof' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [i3] Error 1 I found the following online: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=95934&sid=ca175185bed9514c33942f4795f29892 Here it was suggested that –rdynamic be added to the link options. This did not work for me.

Though my fix leaves me a tiny bit squeamish. I was able to get past the linker error with this modification to common.mk: LDFLAGS ?= $(as_needed_LDFLAG) -u xcb_str_sizeof Can someone please help me to understand what –u actually did? Is it a safe modification? I’ll note that inside /usr/lib64 is an older version of libxcb (1.8). It is there only because I needed to do the following (libX11-devel depends on libxcb): yum install libX11-devel My concern is to ensure that the newer versions of the libxcb stuff (that I compiled) overrides the old stuff found in /usr/lib64. 2] Other changes that I made to common.mk include: I3_CFLAGS = -std=c99 -I/usr/local/cwp/include LIBS = -L$(TOPDIR) -li3 -lm -L/usr/local/cwp/lib Is there an environment variable that I could have defined which would have prevented the need for these last two lines? 3] Last question relates to some of the libxcb elements that I did not seem to have to build. These include: xcb-proto, xcb-util-image, xcb-util-renderutil The fact that I did not have to build these seems odd. Should I have built them for completeness? I’ll also note two libraries that I had to build, which were not listed in DEPENDS: xcb-util-wm and xcb-util-keysyms. 4] As mentioned I will fully publish my procedures, once I scrub them. I will stand up a new box and go step by step through my procedures, at that point I will put them online. I’m about to try to give i3 a run now that it is built… fingers crossed.
