The <code>--disable-gconf</code> 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]].

Dependencies

  • startup-notification
  • gtk+2
  • libwnck

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 > /etc/X11/app-defaults/xinitrc.d/Compiz_\(with_an_XTerm\).xinitrc << "EOF"
compiz ccp &
exec xterm
EOF

Manual configuration

To select Compiz as your default desktop environment, execute the following command as the root user:

echo "export DEFAULT_SESSION=\"Compiz (with an XTerm)\" > /etc/xinitrc.conf
