Compiz

LFScript can find this software under the name compiz.

Sources

• https://github.com/compiz-reloaded/compiz/releases/download/v0.8.12.3/compiz-0.8.12.3.tar.xz

Dependencies

• startup-notification
• gtk+2
• libwnck2

It is possible to build this software without gtk+2 and libwnck installed. However, without them gtk-window-decorator will not be built and you will have to install Emerald if you want framed windows under Compiz.

Installation

./configure --prefix=/usr \
        --disable-gconf
make

The --disable-gconf switch allows Compiz to be built without a GConf backend. I'm avoiding GConf at the moment, because it complicates the current transition to the MATE Desktop Environment.

As the root user:

make install

As the root user:

cat > ~/.xinitrc << "EOF"
compiz ccp &
