Awesome @3.4.11: cannot find default config

Reported by: cubranic@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.0.4
Keywords: Cc:
Port: awesome

Description

Awesome WM does not run out of the box because the configuration file it places in ${PORTS_ROOT}/etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua because it is configured to look in ${XDG_CONFIG_DIR}/(...), and XDG_CONFIG_DIR is not defined.

Is this still a problem with 3.5.1?

Just upgraded and tested it out, and yes, it is still a problem. I set XDG_CONFIG_DIR myself in an initalization file in .xinit.d, and that fixes it. Alternatively, it will look for a config file in ${HOME}/.config, which is where I put my customized Awesome configuration.

Not sure if there is something else that should be setting the config dir explicitly. I don't use the Gnome desktop, just straight-up X11 and start the WM as the final initialization step.
