slackware 13 and compiz-fusion

I think that is solved with

I've built compiz with wrong --prefix path

On Slackware, try to use --prefix=/usr path, and make package rather than pure make install:

Code:

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-shared ...some other options...
make
make DESTDIR=/full/path/to/redirected/installation install
cd /full/path/to/redirected/installation
mkdir install
echo packagename: This is some package info for pkgtool desciption > install/slack-desc
requiredbuilder -c -v -y .
makepkg ../package-version-arch-#build.txz

and then You can use this txz package to install with pkgtools

Or just try to use Slackbuild script.
This is my own way to make my customized Slack

Currently, I'm using full compiz-fusion with plugins and emerald builded by "this hands" from sources and packaged into txz

I needed to install Orbit2 and then gconf-2.26 before compiz got compiled. It's working now.
EDIT: Gone back to kwin , it has everything that need, no need for compiz. If only I could use emerald standalone [without compiz]. Anyone knows? Or does anyone use dekorator?

Code:

checking for DEFAULTS... configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 gobject-2.0 dbus-1 dbus-glib-1 polkit-dbus) were not met:                   

No package 'polkit-dbus' found

i couldnt find it on slackbuild
You said ORBit and gconf were enough to compile compiz ,but after installing ORBit i am getting this error when installing GConf

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/PolicyKit/
I tried installing policy kit but i got an error for it also

Code:

checking for GLIB... configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.21.4 gio-2.0 >= 2.21.4) were not met:                                      

Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.21.4' but version of GLib is 2.18.4
Requested 'gio-2.0 >= 2.21.4' but version of GIO is 2.18.4

Welcome to slackware. You have to install your own dependencies.

Martinezio · 09-29-2009, 07:34 AM

I've followed the same path, so be God with You

It's a road of pain, but the effect is worth this pain

Generally, compiz uses GNOME environment, which has been removed by Patric from Slackware repository, so You need to compile it yourself. Every single library... Arghh... I'm so happy, that I finally finished this path...

Thanks for the help!

Daedra · 11-12-2009, 01:31 AM

I haven't really been following this post much, but I just skimmed through it again and I noticed a lot of people talking about gnome dependencies. I'm confused because you don't need gnome dependencies to compile compiz, just pass the --disable-gconf flag. Or are you guys talking about something else?

Martinezio · 11-12-2009, 06:44 AM

Yes, it's about this feature. Personally the gnome libraries do not interfere me, and even more - I'm using some apps, that uses those libraries, so I want them in my system exists

But I noticed, that with gnome libraries compiz manager and tools looks some better

1) compiz (slackware ships with 0.7.8. you need 0.8.2, just upgrade)
2) compiz-bcop
3) libcompizconfig
4) compizconfig-python
5) compiz-plugins-main
6) compiz-plugins-extra
7) compiz-plugins-unsupported
8) ccsm
9) Emerald (optional)
10) fusion-icon (optional, but highly recommended) URL http://repository.slacky.eu/slackwar.../20090211/src/

I did all the above and still I am cubeless.

When I do

Code:

compiz --replace cube

I get

Code:

compiz (cube) - Warn: Failed to load slide: freedesktop

Slackware 13 x86_64

You should be starting compiz like so: "compiz --replace ccp &" and then you can use ccsm to configure compiz with the plugins you want. Alternatively, you can use fusion-icon to start compiz.

I did that and still I got

Code:

compiz (cube) - Warn: Failed to load slide: freedesktop

adamk75 · 03-16-2010, 08:26 AM

That's a pretty harmless warning. Did you enable the Desktop Cube and Rotate Cube plugins? Can you rotate the cube with control+alt+right/left ?
