2006-04-27: Fix build error

[punter]

edit: updated ebuild with gnome flag to enable/disable gnome

Hey fldc,

I'm a gentoo user. Used to use compiz (on my laptop) for a long time until I got sick of heavy-weight gnome (i never liked gnome, was just forced to use it because of compiz).
But now i've discovered beryl and i'm quite happy with it... light-weight and fast. great as a stand-alone desktop.

I hadn't seen this ebuild before....
what does "disable gnome" really mean? can compiz be used without gnome? on its own? like beryl?

I fear "disable gnome" might mean "disable gnome and use kde instead" !
can someone confirm please.

As a point of reference, the compiz package in official gentoo portage has only the following flags
[ebuild N ] x11-wm/compiz-0.3.4 USE="-dbus -debug -svg" 669 kB


thank you.

I assume that disable gnome means that gwd will be built without metacity support. I think that the official ebuild needs to have the correct use flag added so that it can be compiled with --disable-metacity (I think - I generally compile directly from git). The real gnome dependency comes from gwd not compiz.

Just so it is clear, the dependencies are basically this.

Compiz - gconf, gtk
Beryl - gtk, the config uses gfiles which AFAIK is part of gtk
gtk-window-decorator / heliodor - gtk, Metacity (if using metacity themes)

I use Compiz with KDE without any problems. Gconf isnt the nicest configuration tool in the world, but its ok for now.

The --enable-gnome flag is used to compile some module for gnome-control-center as far as i can see? This just removes the dependency to gnome-control-center.
I'm also a kde user and want to keep the gnome/gtk dependencies to a minimum.
Support for metacity is still used if using the metacity flag in this ebuild.
Use flags for this ebuild is "annotate dbus debug gnome metacity svg".

2006-03-12: Added fuse and inotify use flags. Also made some other minor changes.
Thanks. :D
Did you consider adding this ebuild to some overlay? e.g. xeffects

I get this error which should be fixed according to ML.
It must be a problem in ebuild because it compiles fine manually

Any help ???

I got a little further with it by adding cp /usr/bin/intltool-update ${S} to the ebuild in the src_unpack stage

But it's getting stuck on


make[3]: *** No rule to make target `gwd.schemas', needed by `all-am'. Stop.
make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....


Not sure how to bypass this yet easily..

edit: seem to get this regardless of building manually, maybe a setup bug in the git.. I still don't know how to resolve because I never really learned how to understand/modify makefiles.. I tried to avoid it by disabling gtk/gnome/metacity flags but this didn't work.. Ugh..

There is a very good chance thats a bug, all that schema stuff was changed recently. Please make a quick post to the mailing list.

did you try ebuild from xeffects overlay?

[xanas3712]

did you try ebuild from xeffects overlay?

Did just now, it gets stuck on the intltool-update that was the previous persons error that I resolved by copying the intltool-update to the src folder as intltool-update.in

I guess they added the compiz ebuild recently, wasn't available when I last tried.

Sorry about the delay on e-mailing ML on this mike, I was at work. Doing so now.

with help on the ML was able to modify ebuild a bit to correct (messy, but it works, comments for those better than me) , this one builds for me, but it seems the latest git doesn't work with the 4-17 plugins snapshot (some of it builds, most not)

The ebuild in xeffects overlay is just a copy of mine, fixed it in this one and added the needed intltoolize line :)

I guess this should be fixed in xeffects to :)
