Dependencies not met for Awesome WM 4.0 (--> Gears)

[Dennis]

Possibly related to this issue.

Contrary to being stated that awesome-copycats works with Awesome Version 4.x (Readme) it does not appear to work with Awesome Version 4.0. Presumably the capabilities of Gears does not meet up: locate filesystem.lua does not find anything.

Awesome starts, but throws erros. See version info and error log below.

Possible solution would be to require version > 4.0.

awesome v4.0 (Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger)
 • Compiled against Lua 5.1.5 (running with Lua 5.1)
 • D-Bus support: ✔
 • execinfo support: ✔
 • RandR 1.5 support: ✔
 • LGI version: 0.9.1

This is actually due to the submodule freedesktop.

Fixed now, please update:

git submodule update --recursive --remote
