Dependencies

  • startup-notification
  • gtk+2
  • libwnck2

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 > ~/.xinitrc << "EOF"
compiz ccp &
exec xterm
