Hello,

CMakeLists.txt cannot be used by make.


sudo apt-get install cmake
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install

If you are compiling compiz then after this

sudo make findcompiz_install

If you are compiling compizconfig

sudo make findcompizconfig_install

I have compiz and compizconfig, I need to install some plugins installed with git.

For one thing that plugin is for Compiz 0.9.x which is now completely incompatible with previous versions. Maverick is using Compiz 0.8.x. You'll want to get the 0.8 version but doing git checkout compiz-0.8 and doing the git clone.

Also bumping your thread like a madman is usually detrimental to your cause.

You can do the same with plugins, too!

I ran into this same problem yesterday!

Here is a script that has all of the experimental plugins, including 'freewins'. Freewins doesnt do much though - you can't interact with a window after you have moved it. And it freezes compiz often.
