Thanx for the tip on the fuse package. It ships with SLED and once installed 
the fuse plugin loads. Do you perhaps know
what is required to get the annotate plugin to compile ?

 SLED 10 has an older xorg (before .pc's were shipped iirc), you need to
 dig up an xorg-x11-compat70-devel package.

I guess so.

Find the compiz package now in the openSUSE X11:XGL project, on which
Jigish / Cyberorg added me as maintainer :^)

For some reason, compiz is currently in blocked state on
XOrg7_SUSE_Linux_10.1, but it has been compiled for the same release in
my home directory home:mhopf.

For download:

http://software.opensuse.org/download/X11:/XGL/
  or
http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/mhopf/

Unfortunately, the XOrg7_SUSE_Linux_10.1 packages built in my home
project don't show up yet. I guess this needs some time.

BTW - Jigish, I think the SL10.1xorg7, SLE10, SLE_10, and
SUSE_Linux_Factory directories should be deleted on the download side of
X11:XGL, do you agree?

 It would be nice if someone could package compiz and then create an 
 additional package
 with the third-party plugins in.

AFAIK so far most of the additional plugins (if not all) do not
compile/run for upstream compiz at the moment.

All of the plugins on this page work with compiz, the exception is neg 
which requires a patch to the core.  They all work with hardly any

To compile them just download, unpack and type make install as your

Compiz 0.2.0 covers a lot of different versions, any checkout from git after
13/10 will be OK with animation.  I think we need to work out a common
versioning scheme for these, maybe something like 0.2.0.20061020
where the last date is the git checkout date.

Eventually the releases should be updated more often and stable releases
made.  You are probably OK to take a git checkout from today since its
as stable as it has always been.  The correct version by now should really
be something like 0.2.5 since there are have been a lot of changes since
the original 0.2.0 release.  These numbers are probably up to David to
change so for now I would probably use the date it was checked out
from git as the version.  All of the packagers should try to work together
so that the versions are the same across distros, this will make support
much easier.

I am personally using a git checkout from a few weeks ago and it is fine
There is no reason why those plugins shouldn't compile with todays
checkout.  If you have any problems please let me know.

If there are any other plugins people would like to see, please let me
know. I have only converted the main ones but I realize there are others.
Blur FX is a problem because it relies on changes made to emerald but
everything else should be OK.

If anyone makes packages, could you please add them to the Wiki
along with some basic instructions on how to install.  This will make it
easier for any new users and keep everything in one place.

Actually, no. 0.2.0 is exactly the release version of compiz 0.2.
Newer versions would be 0.2.1 or similar.

Choosing git versions in-between is actually against the spirit of
version 0.2 being a stable version. So I doubt this is a good idea. I

I make a point all the same of announcing that there are official compiz
packages , (I know for ubuntu), mine :P.
http://gandalfn.club.fr/ubuntu 

Moreover I profit that you evoke the third-party plugins to raise a
problem of packaging. I seek to create packages for those but I cannot
find which version I put: compiz version ?, ABI compiz version ? 

I think that it would be important to put a number of version for each
so that a modest packager can find himself there.

 I think this is a major problem at the moment, there do not appear to be 
 any packagers for
 the official compiz.  I believe that all of them are involved in Beryl 
 and have
 given up supporting compiz, which is a shame because it reduces the

[compiz] Compiling Compiz

2006-10-17 Thread Johan Kotze

  
  

  I have downloaded compiz-0.2.0 and tried to compile it. The INSTALL file talks about autgen.sh but I am unable to locate it. I tried ./configure but it complains about a number of missing packages. Is there any docs on how to compile compiz on SLED 10  I have searched in a lot of places but have not been able to dig up anything. A detailed list of what packages is required and where to locate them would be greatly appreciated.

Right, in development versions you need to run ./autogen.sh, but in
release versions that's already done and ./configure is where you should
start at.

I've found the distribution packages to be helpful in these cases even if
you want to compile your own. You can install the latest binary package
available in your distribution to get most of the runtime dependencies on
the side. Similarily, you can install and build the latest source package
(.src.rpm file on SLED) to get at least most of the build-time
dependencies satisfied.

Alternatively, the compiz.spec file inside the source RPM has the
information you need: Requires-lines for runtime and BuildRequires-lines
for build-time. Google finds at least the spec file for compiz 0.2.0 in a
random distribution:

The package names might not match SLED though.

 places, but have not been able to dig up anything. A detailed list of
 what packages is required (and where to locate them) would be greatly

You could also try to read the provided configure.ac file. For example,
there's a list of COMPIZ_REQUIRES and various PKG_CHECK_MODULES
statements.

This is not most user-friendly though. Perhaps someone else can provide
you with the information you actually asked for :-)
