Is there a compiz package for fedora without gnome dependence? I don't want to install gnome to run compiz, because i use kde. Or i have to compile compiz from source? And gnome needed to compile it?

Ps: sorry for bad english!

Hi B@T. If you want no gnome, you need to compile from source. You will not need to compile gnome-features if you don't need them. Only the window-decorator and the gconf-plugin needs gtk/gnome, but you can use aquamarine as decorator (its for KDE). You will only need to install gconf (and the base dependancies).

I compiled compiz, but i think there's some problem. I start compiz with this command: compiz--replace. Then the window's borders are disappear. The configure said:
and the following optional features will be compiled:
svg: no
gtk: no
metacity: no
gnome: no
kde: no
I think, the kde line can be the problem. (I run configure with this: ./configure --enable-kde)

What packages are missing? Or what config files I have to edit?

The make problem is related to you missing some development libraries.

I think it might be getetxt-dev you are missing but there may be others. The make output isnt very helpful in this respect.

Do not use enable-kde, it will not work as you expect. You can compile without a window decorator but you must compile aquamarine and then run that instead of gtk-wd.

Thanks for your help.
