Compile compiz-fusion from git [UPDATED] (NEW SCRIPT)

[ibuclaw]

Not sure if someone has already reported this...
Mine compiled fine and runs fine.

But I can only access the new plugins when I run "fusion-icon" as root...
How to I enable them for normal users?

Regards
Iain

Yes.. I'm working on that. Some plugins get installed in ~/.compiz so only root can acces them, because they're in /root.

So if there isn't a way to download git as a whole package then extract it offline, is there a way to exclude widgets from the download. I don't really need widgets as I use gdesklets and they work fine for me...

Try:

rm -rf ~/.compiz-git/widget

5. The folder is there, but there's no wallpaper plugin in CCSM... EDIT: Actually, I'm seeing a lot of plugins in that folder that aren't in CCSM, like Screensaver, Snowglobe, Freewins, Workspace Names, Dodge...

same problem as above

*Some plugins didn't install themselves systemwide. Fixed by adding 'BUILD_GLOBAL = true' to 'plugin.info'
*Fixed bug in 'widget' plugin

Please try the newest version.

Is there a script command to make it upgrade itself, or need I redownload the .tar.gz?

That means you have 2 versions of compiz-fusion installed. One from my script and one from synaptic.. please remove compiz with synaptic and use my script again.

I uninstalled all compiz via the commands you have posted at the beginning of this thread. All seemed to go well upon re-installation using your script, until this point:

checking for COMPIZ... configure: error: Package requirements (x11-xcb          xcomposite               xfixes                  xdamage                 xrandr                  xinerama                ice                     sm             libxml-2.0               libxslt                 libstartup-notification-1.0 >= 0.7) were not met:

No package 'x11-xcb' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables COMPIZ_CFLAGS
and COMPIZ_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Failed: Executing ./autogen.sh --enable-librsvg --disable-kconfig --disable-kde --disable-kde4

I'm not seeing x11-xcb in synaptic..

Incidentally, trying this on my gutsy install before I try it on my hardy.
Where do I go from here?

If you had compiz from the Hardy repository at first, then you should see the new plugin "Cube Reflection and Deformation".

Make sure you restart/reload compiz with fusion-icon.

Thanks, I pretty much gave up on the gutsy install as I wont really be staying with it anyway. Did manage to get it working (minus the widgets) on HH tho.. Thanks!

"Cube Reflection and Deformation" is missing from the both ccsm (c-g & c-f), in fact there is no diference between them!!! the only diference is that are not the same option enabled.
