I just tried various things. It turns out that "make test" will<br>
succeed if and only if it's actually run under i3, meaning it already<br>
has to be installed. This is because it calls "i3 --get-socketpath",<br>
which only works if called from within a running i3 session.<br>
<br>
It isn't just that it can't get the socket path... it actually uses<br>
the socket to communicate with a running instance of i3. If i3 isn't<br>
running, there's no possible way for "make test" to work. So my<br>
recommendation for the SlackBuild is to get rid of the 'make test'<br>
entirely.<br>
<br>
My recommendation is to just get rid of the "make test". On a clean<br>
Slackware 15.0 VM, it always succeeds when run under i3, so we can<br>
honestly say it's redundant to run it anyway. Unless you or someone<br>
else objects, I will make this change and push it.<br>
<br>
Probably the reason Emmanuel never noticed this is that he's never<br>
tried to run it from within another window manager or desktop env.<br>
Also, I notice the last git log activity from Emmanuel N. Millan was<br>
almost 2 years ago...<br></blockquote><div><br></div>Hi, I'm here.
