Yes, Marco Martin has built packages of it and in the video linked in the news post you can see MeeGo + that packages :-) > What additional deps does this introduce? I don't know exactly what MeeGo already includes but in general KWin does not have many dependencies. From our CMakeLists I see that we link the following libraries: * KDE4_KDEUI_LIBS * KDE4_PLASMA_LIBS * QT_QTXML_LIBRARY * QT_QTSCRIPT_LIBRARY * kephal * kworkspace * X11_LIBRARIES * Composite, Damage and GLES of course
Kephal are just some headers which could be included directly into KWin (or might be removed completly as it's only needed for multiscreen support) and from kworkspace we only use a minor part which can be ifdefed. Same probably possible with the Plasma dependency, though that would require some work.
