conky with lua support

[ali]

i can't get conky with lua support to work, i tried to compile it myself but after running ./configure it would say lua(yes) support
cairo: no
imlib2: no
even tho i had cairo-dev and imlib2-dev installed

can anyone please get this to work?

You could check config.log to see exactly what test failed just prior to reporting Cairo was missing. Often this message means a dep of Cairo is missing

Have you also got the 'cairo.tcz' extension installed? I've noticed that it's not included in 'cairo-dev.tcz.dep' and adding it might help (apart from the fact that it will likely be required as a runtime dependency for your resulting binary).

and yes, imlib2-dev is installed, cairo, cairo-dev...

Did you check config.log to see what it says immediately prior to the cairo error message?

[ali]

i don't understand anything

here's the config.log

[Juanito]

Here's what I get:

Code: [Select]

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-imlib2 --enable-lua-imlib2 --enable-lua-cairo
...
checking for X11... yes
checking for Imlib2... yes
checking for LUA... yes
checking for cairo... yes
checking for cairo_xlib... yes
checking for tolua++... no
checking for tolua++5.1... no
checking for tolua++-5.1... no
configure: error: tolua++, tolua++5.1, or tolua++-5.1 is required for Lua extras.

..so it looks like you need lua libs and/or lua cairo/imlib2 bindings?

i ended up using the non-cairo conky
