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. Johan Kotze -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I tried ./configureRight, 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.> 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 ofI'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: http://developer.momonga-linux.org/viewvc/trunk/pkgs/compiz/compiz.spec?revision=11695&view=markup The package names might not match SLED though.> places, but have not been able to dig up anything.

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 :-) -- -- Trying to catch me?

Jigish This is the location of the old compiz-quinn packages. They are not updated anymore, now that they have forked into Beryl. I am specifically looking for an rpm of compiz-0.2.0 as was released by David.

Mike I am willing to be a packager for SLED and openSuse 10.1 & 10.2 if someone would be willing to teach me what to do. I have a good programming background (Delphi & Pascal) and I learn quickly. I have no idea as to how to build rpm's, but I am willing to try.

I believe that all of them are involved in Beryl and have given up supporting compiz, which is a shame because it reduces the choice of the 'community'. It would be nice if someone could package compiz and then create an additional package with the third-party plugins in.

That package has metacity theme support. http://software.opensuse.org/download/Compiz-Quinn/SUSE_Linux_10.1/i586/compiz-git_060922-8.1.i586.rpm If you are using xorg7.1 on sled there is a more recent package of compiz git here: http://software.opensuse.org/download/X11:/XGL:/10.1xorg7/ Beryl packages are located here. http://software.opensuse.org/download/X11:/XGL/ I have been maintaining upto date compiz packages on BS for some time now, would be updating packages for 10.1, and factory soon.
