Hello Everyone
I'm not really sure if my "workaround" is known by all of you but, I found a way to compile the latest version of CF without building XCB (who doesn't work and not stable on all systems...)
This tips will replace the need of XCB by the "old pure libX11"
I was browsing "Trevino git work" and found that he developed a patch that disables the need of XCB...
I tested it and it works wonderfully!!
Here is the steps taken:
* Download this patch:
http://gitweb.opencompositing.org/?p=us … 68581ae6d7
* Copy this patch in your ~/compiz/compiz
* Perform a git-pull to get the latest CF git
* Apply the patch with this command:
patch -p1 <compiz-debian-patches-005-disable-libx11-xcb-support.patch
That's it! CF doesn't require XCB to be build and you can compile it with your usual options!!
Thanks a lot for this work Trevino!
Cheers
