Compiz compile problems with the kde window decorator

[Azrael Nightwalker]

I'm trying to build Compiz on Ubuntu, using Kristian's get-git script and I'm getting the following errors:

It seems that his install script concerns about qt stuff. Or are u running kubuntu?

Just try

./autogen.sh --enable-librsvg --disable-kde &&make &&sudo make install

It works for ubuntu (gnome) here.

I am.
But --disable-kde lets me compile compiz.

This thread was split out of another thread related to starting compiz.

Please use separate threads for separate issues instead of hijacking existing threads.

Azrael Nightwalker is this working for you now?

Anything new on KWD compilations problems ?

Using ./configure --enable-librsvg, I'm stuck with :

I've also tried compiling against Qt4 without anymore success. Any ideas ?

[sonicbhoc]

Wouldn't that be QT3 since KDE requires QT3 and not QT4?

[PicardyBeet]

It wasn't compilng against neither qt3 or qt4. Until i find that KDEDIR wasn't set no more. I'm quite sure it was set before, it seems the Feisty upgrade broke it. Anyways, for those who encounter the same problem with Kubuntu and KWD :
export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3
export KDEDIR=/usr/lib/kde3
and it compile

But do I really need KWD? Can't I just use Emerald instead? How do I disable KWD?

[PicardyBeet]

if you will just use emerald with Compiz Fusion, you can disable it by using ./configure --disable -kde when compiling. What script do you use to pull the source from the repo and install it ? If it's makeccc, you only have to edit it, and set COMPIZREMOVE to "kde".

Great! Thanks!

Do i really have to say that it's working? :D
