Leftwm: [Question] Build dependencies other than rust and cargo?

[uncomfyhalomacro]

Sorry if this looks stupid, but I read the README, and it seems that rust and cargo are the only things I see as build dependencies. May you provide us if there are any because someone have this question as well while I am trying to add this package to the Void Linux repos.

If you are referring to the expected x11 lib mentioned in your linked PR[*], this is handled by cargo: it brings the x11-dl crate which has so the bindings into the system library, namely xorg with libxinerama, xrandr and xorg-server.
Basically all build deps are actually handled by cargo.

As an experience from the AUR package it is recommendable to have rustup in the make deps instead of rustc, as the latter can cause conflicts with existing rustup installations, at least in pacmans dependencies.

This leaves the last true dependency bash wich actually just expects some posix shell in #! /usr/bin/env bash I believe.

[*] just noticed you actually linked the question, but GitHub mobile app just jumped to the head of the PR 🤦🏼‍♂️

You are very welcome.
Always great when leftwm gets opened to a wider audience!

BTW: if you have any helpful insight for leftwm on void you are very welcome to add this to our wiki.
(If you are not able to edit the wiki directly, you could open a PR to VuiMuich/leftwm_wiki and I will copy paste it into the leftwm/leftwm wiki.)
