Description
glib2 has been recently updated to 2.32, which apparently forbids the inclusion of some headers. The awesome window manager depends on glib2 and used to include those deprecated headers directly; it has apparently been fixed upstream by the awesome WM developers : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=665508
So it should simply require updating the awesome version in macports, assuming the macports version is not too heavily customized to run on the Mac.
Current awesome version : 3.4.11, required version to play nice with glib2 2.32 : 3.4.12.

Replying to gary.verhaegen@…:
Current awesome version : 3.4.11, required version to play nice with glib2 2.32 : 3.4.12.
3.4.11 is the latest version available. When 3.4.12 becomes available of course we can update to that version. In the mean time we can patch the #include.
As a temporary workaround, simply changing the #include <glib/spawn.h> to #include <glib.h> in spawn.c is enough to get awesome 3.4.11 to compile (and it seems to work).
