Hi,

I tried to install i3ass following the listed method on the description page meaning :git clone, make & make install , but it doesn't work as intended .
I get some error messages after the first make command:

i3ass : make

make -C "$dir" all

The only thing I found was this thread but it was related to i3-gaps which I do not use, that's why I am a bit confused.
Could you help me with it please ? thank you.

thanks for reporting this.
it works for me, but i see in your output that the list in the for loop is slightly different:
yours look like:
for dir in src/i3Kornhe src/i3flip src/i3fyra src/i3get src/i3gw src/i3king src/i3list src/i3menu src/i3run src/i3var src/i3viswiz src/i3zen; do

mine is:
for dir in src/i3flip src/i3fyra src/i3get src/i3gw src/i3king src/i3Kornhe src/i3list src/i3menu src/i3run src/i3var src/i3viswiz src/i3zen; do

further I see in my output that bfore "parsing options" .cache/ dir is created...

make -C "$dir" all
done
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/bud/tmp/asss/src/i3flip'
creating ./.cache/ dir
parsing options
making .cache/long_help.md
generating help table
making .cache/print_help.sh
making .cache/timer_start
making _i3flip.sh

making _init.sh
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/bud/tmp/asss/src/i3flip'
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/bud/tmp/asss/src/i3fyra'

This makes me suspect we are using different make versions.

My output of make -v is:

Fixed, dependencies were missing: gawk, lowdon, xdotool, I found them on the AUR page.
If I may it could be convenient to list them as a requirement on the README page.
Thank you.

yeah, i will make it more clear. I think i can just change the awk command in the make file to gawk and that error will be easier to spot.

Thanks again for the report!
