Build Debian Packages of Compiz Fusion GIT w/ MakeFusionDebs

[Treviño]

Few minutes ago I released the first release of makefusiondebs (http://gitweb.opencompositing.org/?p=users/3v1n0/compiz-fusion-debian-builder;a=commit;h=cb564b4d8ac22f0649d8ec47a3a7d92 d1ad298ac), that is an improved version of the "makedebs" script I wrote both for beryl-svn and beryl-git, however there are some improvements since past public version version:
* Autoupdate (the script will update itself)
* Option file support (makefusiondebs-options)
* Debian patches support (quilt based)
* Plugins ABIVERSION support (to rebuild them on update)
* Base version now is loaded from configure.ac too
* Support for debian version prefix (#:version)
* Fixed some versioning if using particular prefix
* Fixed the local-based date in changelog
* Check and install (if agreed) for Build-Dependencies
* Move old debs in proper dir based on package source too
* Debs, changelogs, and Old-Debs dirs now can be set
* $DISTRODIR_USER now has priority on $DISTRODIR
* Some code cleanups
* Many other fixes I can't remember :)

But let's see how to build packages, this works for any Debian based distro:

git-clone git://anongit.opencompositing.org/users/3v1n0/compiz-fusion-debian-builder compiz-fusion-git
cd compiz-fusion-git
./makefusiondebs
Check you've removed all the compiz related data in /usr/local, and wait until the packages are built! It's all absolutely easy! The script will use both my Compiz Fusion Debian Trees (http://gitweb.opencompositing.org/?p=users/3v1n0/compiz-fusion-debian;a=summary), and my Compiz-Wrapper Script (http://gitweb.opencompositing.org/?p=users/3v1n0/compiz-fusion-debian-builder;a=summary) (they're automatically downloaded/updated from git).

You can set some script options editing the $settingfile ("makefusiondebs-options" by default).

The script has a kind of AutoUpdate feature (but it could be disabled by settings), that will upgrade (and restart) the script itself if a new version is found in git; that's why, it's better to use the $settingfile, instead of editing the main scriptfile.

The script support also some arguments for "advanced" tasks, here you are a small guide:
./makefusiondebs performs all the tasks (sync and package)
./makefusiondebs update just sync the local data to remote git
./makefusiondebs build try to build the needed items
./makefusiondebs <item> build only the <item> (if needed)
./makefusiondebs rebuild <item> force a rebuild of the <item>
./makefusiondebs repack <item> force a repack of the <item>

You can find more informations in the headers of both makefusiondebs and of makefusiondebs-options

Now at patch 999_3v1n0-optimizations.patch
touch debian/stamp-patched
./autogen.sh: 9: autoreconf: not found


I'm getting this error Trevino.

I'm getting this error Trevino.Check you've installed the autoconf package... That file is there ;)

I'm having a problem. Its spitting out this error:

[code:22ef3]dh_install: libcompizconfig0 missing files (usr/lib/compiz/*.so), aborting
make: *** [binary-install/libcompizconfig0] Error 1[/code:22ef3]

Ideas?

I'm having a problem. Its spitting out this error:

[code:be4f5]dh_install: libcompizconfig0 missing files (usr/lib/compiz/*.so), aborting
make: *** [binary-install/libcompizconfig0] Error 1[/code:be4f5]

Ideas?Check that compiz is installed correctly in compiz/debian/tmp... These files should be there!

[ziegs]

Where should those files be? If I'm in the compiz/ directory, i see debian/, and there are files in /usr/lib/compiz/*...

[Treviño]

Where should those files be? If I'm in the compiz/ directory, i see debian/, and there are files in /usr/lib/compiz/*...
From what I see you're compiling libcompizconfig, so go in fusion/libcompizconfig/debian/tmp; there should be a usr/lib/compiz/ folder, with a libccp.so file...

[ziegs]

There's no libccp library in there. There's libcompizconfig.so.*/la/a, but thats all...

[Treviño]

There's no libccp library in there. There's libcompizconfig.so.*/la/a, but thats all...
:o, could you check, please, the build log? Since that file is the compiz plugin needed to access to libcompizconfig, and it should be compiled and installed in that folder... Have you installed the compiz packages you've already built in debs/ folder?

[ziegs]

Yeah, the compiz and -core, -bcop, -dev, -gnome, -kde, and -plugins packages (debs) are built, as well as the libdecoration and associated dev package. I tried installing those debs and running makefusion before I posted originally. As for buildlogs, what & where would you like me to check?

FYI This is feisty on an amd64 box, don't know if that'll tell you anything.

[ziegs]

Ah! I seem to have found the libccp* files, they're off hiding in debian/tmp/usr/local/lib/compiz. Any idea why they'd be there?

--z

[Treviño]

Yes!

Probabily you've an old copy of compiz installed in /usr/local (and so /usr/local/bin for the binary, /usr/local/lib/compiz for the plugins, and /usr/local/lib for the libdecoration), so the configure file you run uses the data there, since it has more priority than the one in /usr.

So, remove all that data, and run again!

[ziegs]

Bingo!

Oopsie :oops:

Thanks Trev, great work.

mine seems to compile correctly, only it is being compiled without svg support it seems....
but only on the first package being configured, the rest does have svg support...
and i'm missing some dependencies, installing them and starting a recompile when at school.
coming back in a bit.... ^_^

okay
the script fails at libqt3-dev

[code:f7b40]

Ops, sorry for that... It was a typo... Run the script again, it should work!

Don't look at first configuration, since it uses standard parameters of the autogen.sh, then debuild will re-run configure with right settings ;)

[Quattro]

all packages compiled nicely now =)

anyone interested? :P

still got an error on splash

I have chenge a few lines in /compizconfig-backend-kconfig/admin/cvs.sh becouse i have installed autoconf autoconf2.50 and autoconf2.13 the same with automake and autoheader.
then emerald depends on beryl-dev package and i don't have it
any ideas what to do with it ?

[imported_konsumer]

i have build the packages successful with the script (thank to Treviño) but now i have an error by starting ccsm

[code:87f95]konsumer@bimsel:~$ ccsm

any idea to solve the problem?

[Treviño]

Check you've installed the python-compizconfig package you've just built...

PS: In git there are some updates and fixes, the cooler is that now the script will check and install for Build-Depends dependencies ;)

[YoungHiFi]

I encountered a problem during compilation. Here's the code:

[code:9348c]gcc -Wall -g -O2 -Wpointer-arith -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -o compiz main.o privates.o texture.o display.o screen.o window.o event.o paint.o option.o plugin.o session.o fragment.o matrix.o cursor.o match.o metadata.o -Wl,--export-dynamic -lpng12 -lXcomposite -lXdamage -lXfixes -lXrandr -lXinerama -lXcursor -lSM -lICE /usr/lib/libxslt.so /usr/lib/libxml2.so -lstartup-notification-1 -lGL -lm
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [compiz] Error 1
[/code:9348c]

So what's wrong? Has anybody else encountered such a problem?

[Treviño]

I encountered a problem during compilation. Here's the code:

[/code:cda32]

So what's wrong? Has anybody else encountered such a problem?Maybe that's due to your LD parameters, you could force them adding a compiz debian user dir where you've set these settings...

[YoungHiFi]

Well, I haven't tinkered with the LD or anything, I also don't know how can I force that + I haven't changed anything with the script's settings. I just ran ./makefusiondebs and that's all.

[Treviño]

You can define them passing LDFLAGS="-Wl,-z,defs" (they're just an example) to the configure file setting it in debian/rules

[YoungHiFi]

Thanks, but after googling a bit, it seems that I may have something wrong with the /usr/lib/libGL.so.* files. I'll let you guys know if it worked or not.

[imported_konsumer]

there was an old compizconfig.so in /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ ... i removed them and now it works ...

[imported_konsumer]

there is a problem with compiz start script. the function running_under_bad_driver() hangs.

i have change

[code:9a06f]if egrep -q "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/+(nv|vga|vesa)_drv\.so" $LOG; then[/code:9a06f]

to

[code:9a06f]if $LOG | egrep -q "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/+(nv|vga|vesa)_drv\.so"; then[/code:9a06f]

now it works ...

[Treviño]

I've fixed it in git too... Thanks!

Edit, since that is a logfile, the old syntax was right... I'll add some extra checks, looks if they're ok in your config!

[gilir]

Thanks you very much :) Working fine (after the little edit in the compiz.wrapper) on debian unstable 64 bits :)

[YoungHiFi]

Thanks, whatever it was, the latest changes to the git master files fixed my problem. ;) Compilation and package building in progress...

[krop]

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [compiz] Error 1
[/code]

So what's wrong? Has anybody else encountered such a problem?

I did.

After checking for /usr/lib/libGL, it appeared that a symlink was missing.
Before :
[code:332a2]krop@djamba:~$ ls -l /usr/lib/libGL.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2007-06-28 17:48 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.100.14.11
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 608400 2007-06-28 17:47 /usr/lib/libGL.so.100.14.11
[/code:332a2]

After :
[code:332a2]krop@djamba:/usr/lib$ ls -l /usr/lib/libGL.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2007-06-28 19:56 /usr/lib/libGL.so -> libGL.so.100.14.11
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2007-06-28 17:48 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.100.14.11
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 608400 2007-06-28 17:47 /usr/lib/libGL.so.100.14.11
[/code:332a2]
and compilation worked after creating the missing link.

[YoungHiFi]

I did just that krop, but it didn't fix my problems. Kinda weird.

To me it looked like this:
Run script, compile error, check symlinks, check packages, still compile error, leave it and get back to it in 3 hours, run script (notice that there was a small update), compiles all the way :)

[imported_konsumer]

I've fixed it in git too... Thanks!

Edit, since that is a logfile, the old syntax was right... I'll add some extra checks, looks if they're ok in your config!

since last checkout it works :)

thanks ...

I'm building on feisty, aren't you? Any idea how to proceed?

TIA

[Treviño]

The script uses the file /usr/bin/autoconf, looking to your ls that's the old version for you... There are two solutions: remove the old version (I think it's unneded), or make the /usr/bin/autoconf file point to the latest version you've installed...

[Paul S]

Yes, after removing autoconf 2.13 it works. But, with the updated script, I now get this warning .. is this a problem?

[code:00781]rm -rf fusion/plugins-*[/code:00781]

Great job on that script! Thanks.
However, I have a problem building plugins-main.
All the other stuff compiled fine. Basicly it complains about "006-magic-lamp-genie-style.patch" which can't be found. (see log below)
I tried to remove plugins-main and did a update via the script but that didn't change anything.
Any hints?

So how would I disable this patch?

What does it do for that matter?

[Treviño]

Plugin structure changed, the patches are now working again...

I've also changed the script to fix problems when git-pull fails... It seems to works well here ;)

[SpmP]

Thanks Treviño,
I must be the lucky one, it worked first time (tried it two days ago). I especially appreciate all the effort thats gone into it, re the automatic downloading of dependancies.

BUT

How can I get your script to build and package the weird and wonderful plugins like 3d etc. that arnt in the wip, sunsupported, etc?

If you require it I can build pacakes for Debian/Unstable (i386), and on my other dodgy lapop with hardware issues, AMD64 ut probably only once a week on that one.

cheers.

I'm not at home right now, but I'll try to compile again when I do get home.

I also was having some difficulty compiling some of the user created plugins that aren't even unsupported yet. You say in the comments to use grep syntax. The only problem is that I was never good at grep's regular expressions. Would you mind telling me what I would need to do in order to compile all user created plugins.

Also, why are you patching compiz? Why not just submit the changes into the main code?

sorry to nag, but can this script build/pack the plugins from the /plugins/* in git?
If so is this mutually exclusive to plugins-*

Hi,

I tried making packages for Debian/Etch using these sripts but this failed in multiple ways. Firstly, because of dependent packages that are not in Etch. I notice that these are really for Sid, but I thought I'd give it a shot anyway.

So, does any one have any suggestions for Etch? Does any one know of a reliable Etch repository out there?

Thanks!

[Treviño]

Most of your prayers have been listened, and now it's possible to compile extra packages too.
I've added some by default, but starting from now you could "play" both with makefusiondebs-options (GITEXTRA variable) and makefusiondebs-extra (for external git repositories - it could be integrated also to http, svn, cvs...) files to set the external items you want ;)

They'll be put in the package compiz-fusion-plugins-unofficial

Let's make the fishes stay in your cube! * :P

Bye!

* New aquarium plugin

[aantn]

Yay!

Thanks a million.

[Treviño]

However I should say that it's still a little buggy... I'd have to fix the way that is used to build or rebuild packages for this (if a sub-plugin changes, all should be rebuilt)... But for today it's enough ;)

[aantn]

Ok. Thanks again

If its not to much of a hassle, could you point me at a article that explains how to make a repository. I'd like to make one for ppc.

[bernardo]

It's quite simple, actually. First you have to create a "Packages.gz" file in debs. I do it like this, every time after I run makefusiondebs:
[code:98e6a]cd debs && dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null | gzip -9c > Packages.gz && cd ..[/code:98e6a]

Then, you need to add a line to /etc/apt/sources.list like this one:
[code:98e6a]deb file:/opt/build/compiz-fusion-debian-builder/debs ./
[/code:98e6a]

And there you have your own repository. A "sudo apt-get update" should now make the packages you built available for installation.

Thanks for the reply. Its good knowledge to know, but perhaps I didn't explain my question well enough. I'm interested in creating an online ppc repository for the entire ubuntu ppc community. I have ftp access to a server that can host the repo. How would I go about putting this repository online?

Should I just upload the entire directory to my website, or is it more complicated than that?

For making it easily you could also use Falcon....

For compiling extra packages, the default string is:
[code:9cc13]GITEXTRA="\/plugins\/\|users/pafy/screensaver\|users/guillaume/soc/colorfilter"
EXTRAITEMSUPPORT="true"[/code:9cc13]You can add something else (using "\|" as divisor)

Thanks.

If I'm going to do it, then I might as well use the same package names that you're using. Are there any meta packages that I should create?

restarting my computer twice because i had to go somewhere should count as a restart of my settings manager...
to clarify it a bit, it updates and downloads the extra plugins...
but it never seems to compile them :S

*edit*
i'm trying it one more time, after that I'll give the repo a shot at it. and probably later will try the script again because i'm just too impatient to wait for updates of the repo :P

*edit2*
it didn't solve my problem, but the latest update fixed my problem with the splash plugin not being loaded after the png plugin ^_^

You can do this (in the directory where you have makefusiondebs:

On this file, remove the line "050-compiz-update-italian-language.patch".
You'll probably also need to edit the file fusion/compiz-fusion-debian-user/compiz/debian/patches/999_3v1n0-optimizations_patch, as it doesn't apply cleanly to cube.xml.in anymore. I removed the offending section on this patch as a quick workaround.

It's actually quite simple. You first need a place to put your build environment, mine is in a folder called compiz in my home directory. Then, assuming you have done the same, run the following commands:

cd ~/compiz/
git clone git://anongit.opencompositing.org/users/3v1n0/compiz-fusion-debian-builder

That will download Treviño's script into ~/compiz/compiz-fusion-debian-builder/ . Now, to build the packages, you merely need to run the following commands:

cd ~/compiz/compiz-fusion-debian-builder/
./makefusiondebs nopatch

When Treviño gets back, if you wish to continue building with his script, you can either leave it like this, or remove the "nopatch" from that last command to get Treviño's patches applied as well.

Currently, there is a problem you will face when building the compiz-core. It will complain about you not having x11-xcb. This is normal, and will not affect your ability to use the latest plugins. Sadly we do not have this dependency in most modern distros yet, so just say 'y' to the question about whether to continue or not, the packages will build, and you will be up to date.

There is one change you should be aware of from the last time Treviño updated his packages. Apparently, the configuration location has changed, so you must copy your config from ~/.compizconfig/ to ~/.config/compiz/compizconfig/.

If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask.

EDIT: I forgot to say that this script will also install the packages for you automatically, and should not conflict with any packages Treviño may build in the future, as the packages built by this script use the same versioning scheme as the ones in Treviño's repository. Nifty, isn't it?

[Gettinther]

x11-xcb is already within libx11 but disabled by default (since version 1.1).

When compiling libx11, use configure --with-xcb to create the extra libs

[bernardo]

I'm now running kubuntu gutsy, and decided to build a libx11 with xcb. I got the "debian" dir from the official ubuntu libx11 sources, and used the latest git branch of libx11. Besides removing a couple of patches, removing the references to ru_* from the install files, and a couple more changes, everything built with "sh autogen.sh&& fakeroot debian/rules clean && fakeroot debian/rules binary", and I now have a fully working (even though somewhat sluggish at times) libx11 + xcb that lets me build all packages with treviño's script. The only strange thing is that the unofficial plugins aren't built, but I'm not sure if they were before I reinstalled my laptop.

Hello Megaqwerty

Thanks a lot for your answer... Since it came to late(it's not your fault), i found the way to compile CF with git!
Thanks a lot
Cheers

[Megaqwerty]

You're welcome, and good job figuring it out!

The only strange thing is that the unofficial plugins aren't built, but I'm not sure if they were before I reinstalled my laptop.

I took a slightly different path by just downloading the main sources (apt-get source libx11-6) updating the changelog with dch, editing debian/rules so that it said --with-xcb (as opposed to --without-xcb) running debuild -S and then subsequently running dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot. Afterwards, I installed everything (libx11-6, libx11-data, libx11-dev.) but the dbg package (libx11-6-dbg.)

The problem is that compiz still fails to build. Any idea as to what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Megaqwerty

[bernardo]

Did you install libx11-xcb-dev and libx11-xcb0?

[Megaqwerty]

Did you install libx11-xcb-dev and libx11-xcb0?

Huh, that didn't get created. Go figure. Could you walk me though how you did it? I must have missed a step somewhere.

Thanks,

[Megaqwerty]

Thanks, that makes sense. Out of curiosity, how did you figure that out?

EDIT: Still facing the same problem. Maybe it will work if I change all references to "libx11-xcb1" in control to "x11-xcb"?

[bernardo]

EDIT: Still facing the same problem. Maybe it will work if I change all references to "libx11-xcb1" in control to "x11-xcb"?

No, that shouldn't change anything. I'll have to check if there is another reference to xcb in debian/rules that needs editing.

[Megaqwerty]

Alright, thanks. If you can't remember, would you mind attaching your debian directory? That way, the only thing that could be different is that I'm not using the current libx11 GIT source, but the source from Feisty.

[bernardo]

Ok, here is my debian dir for the git build I did of libX11 with xcb, I hope this helps.

[Megaqwerty]

Thanks. I was able to get it working by using the latest libx11 GIT with your debian directory.

In case someone is reading our somewhat lengthy conversation here, and wants to replicate our results, here are the steps summarized: git clone git://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libX11/
mv libX11 libx11-1.1.1
Copy bernardo's debian directory into libx11-1.1.1/ and then to build both source and binary packages: cd libx11-1.1.1
debuild -S
sudo dpkg-buildpackage
#or if you have fakeroot installed: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

Thanks again to bernardo,

Megaqwerty

[bernardo]

With todays update, the only package that doesn't build is libcompizconfig. But I think I saw on a thread that the compizconfig interface is broken in git and will be for a couple of days.

[Treviño]

I've made a patch for fixing that issue too, since I prefer not to change it directly in git I'll put a patch on next hours... Now, it's time for sleeping :P

[Etarion]

Hi, how hard would it be to add an option that skips the networking part and goes straight to the build part? When you try to make compiz work, the update-from-git-everytime is quite time-consuming, especially if the connection is slow.

Thanks,
Stefan

Possibly, not sure if the makedebs bit is right though, makefusion?

It's actually a combination of the two:

thanks i forgot that function was there :P
a rebuild all would be cool as well, saves the trouble of removing all sources :P

*edit*
i just updated and rebuild, some of my packages weren't updated anymore because naming changed somehow from ~Qubuntu to +Qubuntu
had to force update them....
the good news is... CCSM works again ^_^ *edit2* sort of, i seem to have lost all my shortcut settings :S

I'm trying to update for the first time in a month and I'm getting this error:

I'm getting that too. It's just an out of date patch. You'll just have to wait a while for Trevino to update it.

[Treviño]

Fixed... Sorry for delay but my compiz local git repo didn't update correctly :o

[yclement]

Hi,

Many thanks for your script Trevino, I finally got Compiz Fusion working with the fglrx trick^^
I have one question: Is it possible to compile only the Gnome part of Compiz without installing KDE packages?
I could live with KDE so that not very important, but I don't use it at all.

Even if that is not possible, thanks again for the script^^

Yann

Debian Testing - ATI 1650XT with FGLRX driver

[Treviño]

To do that you should add a personal debian data in ./fusion/compiz-fusion-debian-user/ folder using the default as example but disabling there the kde stuff...

[Mr Fabulous]

I have just installed the last Debian Etch 4.0r1.

I tried to use the shame repository following the instruction at http://shame.tuxfamily.org/repo/?page_id=29 but I had not luck.

This is what apt says to me:

laptop:~# apt-get install compiz-fusion-gnome
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
compiz-fusion-gnome: Depends: compiz-core (>= 0.5.1) but it is not going to be installed

Anyway thanks to shame and trevino for their great work. It's really appreciated. :D

[aantn]

Thanks. I'm trying right now. I'm expecting to run into some x11-xcb problems, but besides for that we'll see if it works. Hopefully it will and I can start trying to fix the x11-xcb issue.

[bigbrovar]

just got notification that new updates are avialable for compiz fusion..how safe is it to install..? am scared nowadays of updates the last one was cool but i can still rememer the time when things went heywire.any way is it safe?

[jackkerouac]

Has anyone been able to build anything lately? I've tried the past few days and I get errors:

There have been plenty of changes lately. Trevino might be still working out all the patches and stuff to catch up with them all.

[jackkerouac]

That's what I thought. I just was wondering if I was the only one having compiling problems.

[shame]

Though I should have pointed out that I'm not actually using the script, it was just an assumption. You may need to hear from some other users to confirm if it is a general problem or something your end.

[Quattro]

i have the same problem...
and i really need a new update for ccsm as my settings are all locked and i can't change them :(

[bernardo]

The only package that failed to build for me these two days was compizconfig-backend-kconfig, all the others built fine. This one seems to be missing a makefile.

[jackkerouac]

Everything builds for me as of yesterday, but I lost all of the images in CCSM.

[Serverless]

This is the error about the plugins-extra package that appears when I try to compile

Any solution?

[Megaqwerty]

From the error, I'm pretty sure that the problem is in the source code itself. You'll just have to wait a bit for it to be fixed in GIT, or for Trevino to release a patch.

[bernardo]

Treviño fixed most build problems with this latest script update, the only two remaining are the one with plugins-extra you document, and this one with compizconfig-backend-kconfig:

mine gives an error in libcompiz-config...
undeclared variables....

[Treviño]

For fixing the problem related to plugins-extra, compile plugins-main and then install it... After that all should go well...
If you've problem with some component check that it's up-to-dated, and you couold always try removing its folder at fusion/ to redownload and rebuild it...

[bernardo]

Removing fusion/compizconfig-backend-kconfig anr doing a makefusiondeps rebuild I still have the same error... As for the plugins-extra will see after this build how it goes.

[shame]

Does makefusiondebs run ./configure in the kconfig directory AS WELL as ./autogen.sh?

I find I need the extra ./configure step after ./autogen.sh but only for kconfig.

[aantn]

Can I use this script to build source packages?

[bernardo]

Does makefusiondebs run ./configure in the kconfig directory AS WELL as ./autogen.sh?

I find I need the extra ./configure step after ./autogen.sh but only for kconfig.

And that fixed it. I copied fusion/compizconfig-backend-kconfig to fusion/compiz-fusion-debian-user/, edited fusion/compiz-fusion-debian-user/compizconfig-backend-kconfig/debian/rules to add a "./configure" line after the "dh-testdir" line in the configure-stamp area, and managed to build compizconfig-backend-kconfig at last.

[jocko]

Does anyone else have problems getting the script to build the extra-items (like 3d and screensaver)?
I had it working a few weeks ago, but now it's not working.
I can build and install them manually to .compiz, but I can't figure out how to get makefusiondebs to include them in the .debs...

Thanks

[Quattro]

i having more problems then just extra-items when trying to build on gutsy gibbon, of course another python bug is effing up

[Blazeix]

I think plugins-extra is broken in source; at least I haven't been able to build it for the past few days.
Also, the script currently hangs on "Updating the bs package..." on Ubuntu 7.10.

EDIT: The bs hanging bug is gone. There must have been some error contacting the git repo or something.

[Quattro]

i'm having another go at compiling them under gutsy AMD64, I'll keep you updated

*update
after forcing some packages and rerunning the script twice i got all stuff compiled and installed, but gutsy claims it has newer packages...
so DO NOT UPDATE after you got these working...
or lock the packages...

[reez0105]

hm...btwn..my rotating cube crash if i enable opacity....
anybody..please who succeed compile unstable = visualevent ,radial-switcher , brightness and saturated plugins...please attach it here....current version for those plugins are broken in http://gitweb.opencompositing.org...

[Quattro]

when running on gutsy: do NOT use trevino repo or this script, the 4 (or something like that) plugins you get when using unsupported do not outweigh the dependency hell caused by mixing gutsy packages and 3v1n0 packages.

[aantn]

Quattro, that could just be because of the versioning scheme that Trevinho uses.

[shame]

I don't believe Etch has that package.
I'm not sure exactly what will and won't work on Etch, CCSM and Fusion Icon definately not apparently.

If you are interested in testing, I have some Etch packages built (minus ccsm and fusion icon. If you want to try them PM me and I will let you have the secret repo :)

[Acesabe]

Cheers Shame - but it's the config/starter tools I'm really after - Mepis 7 (beta 4 atm) has Compiz in the repos but no tools or extras...Now - if anyone knows where the KDE 4 config panel (with what appears to be Compiz controls) is at - I would love to know...

[shame]

I wasn't aware there was one but if you find it let me know.

[Acesabe]

Looks like KDE 4 will be trying to include some very similar (read copied) effects:
http://dot.kde.org/1180541665/
Question is - with the lack of QT compiz config tools available - there is certainly room for a KDE composite effects manager - whether it is using Compiz or KDE 4's composite manager may become less of an issue. I think it looks like KDE will have a working composite effects config manager quite soon - how far these effects will go is another matter (rotating cube, expose etc.)...

[Quattro]

lol...you seems don't understand anything don't you...?using git or that script is fine...as long as we uninstall all compiz packages from main repo......

first of all, i (and others) don't like to be called stupid.

i do understand it, the packages are named the same, as soon as ubuntu updates one of the packages, it will overwrite your own ones, apt doesn't look at the source a package is from, it just gets the newest version.

i guess i'll just have to remove the main repo from my sources.list then ;-)

now on more serious note:
Probably that isn't a problem anymore, because 3v1n0 packages will almost certainly be newer now gutsy has been released. i'll try the build script in a few days

i tried them just now, and it fails at building compiz...

Is MakeFusionDebs grabbing the latest from git? I just compiled with it (using Gutsy) and I get compiz and compiz core at 0.5.5, not 0.6 or whatever it is supposed to be right now.

[Megaqwerty]

Yes, it is. MakeFusionDebs gets its version number from debain/control. So the version number will be changed when Trevino updates his debian git files.

[jackkerouac]

Cool, thanks. My Update Manager keeps telling me there are newer versions available and I wanted to make sure there weren't. I should have known better. Building from source is ALWAYS newer.

Yes, it works fine.

Weird... I must have some of the official packages still installed. Exactly what steps did yo take to install your packages?

[Ornedan]

Is it possible to use this script without having to install the Gnome dependencies? (Or without KDE dependencies in case one happens to be one of those weird people that prefer Gnome :p)
That is, is it possible to selectively disable some of the packages from being built and in such way that the dependency checker will also not require the now-unnecessary dependencies to be installed anyway?

that would be really cool, but only useful for those people that build the packages only for themselves and friends who happen to have the same taste in Desktop Environment

[shame]

Find the line that does the autogen.sh command, which will be something like ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr and add bits to disable the gnome stuff maybe.

Something like ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --disable-gnome --disable-gtk

Though I think some gnome stuff will still be needed.

I think it'd be ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --disable-gnome --disable-gtk --disable-gconf

But that just disables the compilation of the gnome components, the script makes the dependency check before compilation and doesn't consider the autogen parameters when doing it -> Would still need to have the Gnome dependencies present before the script is willing to start compiling.

Screensaver crashes. Going to check if its possible to install from source.

[aantn]

Plun, can you be more clear about how you got it working?

[plun]

Plun, can you be more clear about how you got it working?

Well... its rather easy...but...

First of all build packages.

git-clone git://anongit.opencompositing.org/users/3v1n0/compiz-fusion-debian-builder compiz-fusion-git

cd compiz-fusion-git

./makefusiondebs

During this build 3 packages reaches higher value for packages and
the update manager "serves" them.

Inside compiz-fusion-git > debs you have the others.

You must then uninstall Gutsys packages and install debs.
(from terminal or Synaptic, several of them also have dependencies)

With dpkg -l | grep compiz you check package version.

The screensaver still crashes....:p

[aantn]

That works. :)

I seem to remember running into more issues last time I tried...

That works. :)

Yup :)

Now we just need a smart easy way to change version number.

Change every 0.5.5 package to 0.6.3 :o :p

One example:

Did Trevino die or something? Is he on vacation?

Did Trevino die or something? Is he on vacation?

Wouldn't he have said if he was going on vacation.

I know that he was arguing with Amaranth wether there should be a git repo for Gutsy, and I don't know what happened.

[Quattro]

i think there should be a repo for gutsy, only problem is that the packages the build script makes are lower in version then those of ubuntu...

<edit>
i'm trying to find out where i can change the version of the package, should be somewhere in the debian/control of compiz :S
<edit>
I found where the version is modified, something is patching configure.ac, trying to find out what does the patching
</edit>
</edit>

i'm still a bit in the dark why ubuntu chose to put development versions of compiz and firefox in the repo's

I succeeded in creating a repo, and fill it with the latest and greatest packages for Gutsy i386 and AMD64
downside is that my upload won't survive all of you =(
I'm looking into other options, but I'll keep you posted, maybe I'll just send them to trevi
YEAH
i was able to ftp the whole bunch to my own hosting, http://kwatrow.nl/repo/
*edit
untill i find a better way to upload the repo to my hosting the repo will be hosted at http://home.kwatrow.nl/repo
don't expect godspeed though :P

[dsvilko]

That's great!
Only, the snow plugin does not work, or rather there is no keybinding tab in the CCSM.
And just when I found a nice winter background... :)

[aantn]

I suppose the big question is "What happened to Trevinho?!"

[Quattro]

i'm having more trouble with the packages, plugins-unofficial for instance...
(as in non-existent for the moment)

i can look into snow for you, but i think it's not the fault of the packages, maybe the source is a bit outdated and doesn't support ccsm as well as it used to do...

[dsvilko]

Well, I am back on the 7.10 official packages for now.
Is it just me or are some things (opening menus and changing tabs in the Firefox) much slower in the git version?

Firefox switches tabs fast for me... Then again, I haven't bothered to compare it to without compiz.

[aantn]

I've edited the script around a bit and the version numbers are now fixed. You can download it from here: http:/theesylum.com/download/makefusiondebs

All I did was comment out the line:
version="${base_comp_ver}~git$(git_commit_date)+${package_s ufix}${buildstamp}"[code]
And replace it with:
[code]version="1:0.6.0+git$(git_commit_date)+${package_sufix}${bu ildstamp}"

[plun]

Yup, seems to work.....:D

But I checked versions and for "bravehearts" running Hardys repo its 0.6.2, easy
to change with your solution... Thanks !!!;)

Any repo builder awake....;)

[Quattro]

the script got updated, but i still can't get the extra-items to compile with the script :S

[aantn]

Hmm... I don't seem to be getting all of the extra plugins installed either.

[plun]

Well, our friend Trevino was in and changed this script...:)

What is he meaning with the text inside the file makefusiondebs-extra

# This file will be called from makefusiondebs to sync with extra repositories
#
# You can define both variables and commands.
# The commands MUST be into an 'extra_items_do' function (users could use also
# 'extra_user_items_do' not to ovverride default); the base syntax is:
# git_sync git://GIT-BASE-URL GIT-ITEM "BASE-DIR"
# So an example to grab compiz (as extra item) from freedesktop is:
# git_sync git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git xorg/app/compiz "$extradir"
#
# PLEASE DON'T EDIT THIS FILE, USE THE makefusiondebs-extra-user INSTEAD!!

Hmm... I don't seem to be getting all of the extra plugins installed either.

Same with me. compiz-fusion-plugins-extra builds, but I seem to be missing the plugins therein (at least Anaglyph and Freewins...didn't look for the others.) I installed the .deb manually as well just to be sure, but alas they are still missing.

[aantn]

One thing I've noticed is that all of the missing plugins are located in fusion/extra-items. I don't know if that helps. :(

[hyperair]

I've tried and it's possible to checkinstall the rest of them I reckon. =P The sources are there.

[aantn]

Thats good to know. You just disproved my theory that the debian directory was outdated.

I'm guessing that the script simply forgets to build that directory.

[fettouhi]

Has anyone been able to install those new plugins in the extra-items folder? I've only been able to build a few of them by hand (make & sudo make install).

Regards

André

[jackkerouac]

What about the new folder compiz-tools? How will this effect the script?

[shoofy]

There's a note in the script that actually installing the extra items is on Trevino's to do list for the script. It seems a little strange that he would make it download the packages if they can't be installed yet, but I guess he wanted us to be able to install the packages manually.

[jackkerouac]

Well, he hasn't touched the script in forever, so I am assuming he's either busy or abandoned it.

[Megaqwerty]

I concur. I plan to study the script and debian directories, but haven't yet had the time to do so. (I really do hope that Treviño comes back though...I don't look forward to sifting through the mass of code that is his update script ;) )

EDIT: Or...I suppose one of us could figure out at what point the script stopped working, and through the magic of GIT, we should be able to see what changed since then that would have caused this. If you want to know an easy way to look, you can go to http://gitweb.opencompositing.org/?p=users/3v1n0/compiz-fusion-debian-builder;a=summary and look through the commitdiff links. Or if the problem happens to be the debian directory, you can look through the commitdiffs here (http://gitweb.opencompositing.org/?p=users/3v1n0/compiz-fusion-debian;a=summary)

Well, I'm a bit busy with ghop at the moment, but if you're trying to fix this than ignore my previous comment about the debian directories. Checkinstall does *not* use the debian directory, and the problem is most likely an outdated debian directory. Good luck.

[shoofy]

What do you mean by "at what point the script stopped working?" The script still works fine for me. As far as I can tell it is still building the latest versions of the standard compiz fusion packages. It just doesn't build the extra plugins. I don't think this script ever built the extra plugins, so I wouldn't say that it stopped working in that respect, it just doesn't work yet. I think it will be very hard to make a script that is able to keep the extra plugins up to date, since many of them don't build successfully on any given GIT pull. I'm happy to donate some time and effort to working on this if anyone wants to make an attempt though.

[Megaqwerty]

Sorry, you're probably correct. I stopped building from GIT for a bit after Gutsy came out, and started again around the time the FreeWins and Anaglyph plugins were introduced because I wanted to try them out. I had assumed that they were building before, and that some change in the script stopped them from building. This may explain why I haven't been able to see anything wrong in the admittedly short amount of time I've had to look over the script ;).

[jackkerouac]

I'm getting the following error when trying to build:

1 out of 3 hunks FAILED -- rejects in file plugins/rotate.c
Patch 009-compiz-zoom-only-on-manual-rotate-option.patch does not apply (enforce with -f)
make: *** [debian/stamp-patched] Error 1

[pato101]

this may be because the patch which is being to be applied does no longer match to the actual code.
Copy compiz-fusion-debian folder to compiz-fusion-debian-user and there, disable the patch via :
fusion/compiz-fusion-debian-user/compiz/debian/patches/series
removing the entry for the patch in conflict

[jackkerouac]

this may
