- Compiz-git instructions
- Tuesday, June 12th, 2007 at 8:28:59pm MDT
- files are all here:
- http://gitweb.beryl-project.org/?o=age
- we need to 'git' all packages needed, first make sure 'git' is installed, and 'autogen'
- sudo apt-get install git autogen
- we need these packages and git will get them for us, from http://gitweb.beryl-project.org/?o=age
- create a compiz folder in your /home/user directory, change INTO that directory, then:
- put 'git clone' in front of each of these lines below and run them in a terminal one by one
- git://anongit.opencompositing.org/compiz
- git://anongit.opencompositing.org/compcomm/libraries/bcop
- git://anongit.opencompositing.org/compcomm/compiz-configuration-system/tools/ccsm
- git://anongit.opencompositing.org/compcomm/compiz-configuration-system/libraries/ccs-lib
- git://anongit.opencompositing.org/compcomm/compiz-configuration-system/bindings/ccs-python
- git://anongit.opencompositing.org/compcomm/plugins-main
- after you have all of this you have all the files, now it's time to build.
- I will assume your username is "foo". Henceforth, replace any instance of "foo" with your actual user name.
- In the compiz directory, you want to run
- ./autogen.sh --prefix=/home/foo/Compiz --enable-librsvg && make && make install
- Then run
- export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/foo/Compiz/lib/pkgconfig
- Then, in each of the bcop, ccs-lib, ccs-python, ccsm, plugins-main directories(in that order) run:
- ./autogen.sh --prefix=/home/foo/Compiz && make && make install
- nvidia command to make window decorations work if needed:
- sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24
- after all have been built with NO ERRORS, you should be able to start compiz like so:
- ~/Compiz/bin/compiz --replace --indirect-rendering --sm-disable ccp &
- and to use the compiz-settings-manager, just type:
- PYTHONPATH=/home/foo/Compiz/lib/python2.5/site-packages ccsm
- (You can add the PKG_CONFIG_PATH and PYTHONPATH to your bash init in order to not have to type them in every time)
