Script to install Compiz Fusion From Source on gnome

[oceanic]

is it this one? :D
i think i did it hehe

Thank you for all the help!

[some-guy]

try installing/updating pkgconfig
The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old. Make sure it
is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full
path to pkg-config.
it turns out nothing but compiz was actually build because it couldn't find compiz

[oceanic]

root@arthy:/home/sarah# sudo apt-get install pkg-config
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
pkg-config is already the newest version.
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
unixodbc odbcinst1debian1 libltdl3
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

:( did i install it in the wrong place??
I donno much

Thank you again for trying to help me though :D

[some-guy]

maybe its broken, try reinstalling pkg-config

[mbeierl]

Hmmm. Same error happening for me too - Gutsy 6.10 64 bit:

configure: Using PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... ./configure: line 22825: /usr/lib/pkgconfig: is a directory
no
checking for EMERALD... configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old. Make sure it
is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full
path to pkg-config.

More info:
mark@ottws58:~/downloads/compiz/makecompiz8-gdeb-0.6.0$ pkg-config --version
0.22
mark@ottws58:~/downloads/compiz/makecompiz8-gdeb-0.6.0$ dpkg -l | grep pkg-conf
ii pkg-config 0.22-1 manage compile and link flags for libraries

.. oh, and I had tried the reinstall of pkg-config, but it made no difference.

[mbeierl]

But yet, if I cd into the sources dir for emerlad-0.5.2 and run ./configure there:

configure: Using PKG_CONFIG_PATH=NONE/lib/pkgconfig
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for EMERALD... yes

[oceanic]

so did you make it work? =s
i donno how to install it then :(

[mbeierl]

No, I did not get it working, I just tried running part of the script manually. It didn't help out overall, though.

So, now I'm in the fun position of working my way back to an operational cube :)

[some-guy]

strange :confused:

well try running the remove script then run sudo apt-get install compiz-core compiz-gnome emerald libcompizconfig compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-bcop compiz-fusion-plugins-* libcompizconfig-backend-gconf
after that use my makegutsyplugins script :D
that should give equivalent or almost equivalent functionality :D

[Deciare]

I just looked at the source for the latest script. You have a lot of lines saying:
export PKG_CONFIG=$PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig
The PKG_CONFIG environment variable details the location of the pkg-config binary, not the .pc file path. Changing those lines to:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig should fix it.

[some-guy]

OMG how did I manager that? :o
oh well will fix, maybe tomarrow :D

[mbeierl]

Awesome! I'll be willing to give it a try when you're done! I'm back up and running already - although I did have a little scare when I couldn't get emerald to run.

Turned out it the window decorator was unchecked in the compiz settings :)

[some-guy]

OK PKG_CONFIG is _PATHified :D

EDIT: New Script too, fedora this time :D

[mbeierl]

Doh! Okay, tried it first with removing all compiz and emerald packages from apt, then ran the script. Everything compiled, but compiz would not start to due compiz.real not being found.

Hmm, I think to myself, maybe I should let it remove what it wants removed ... So I re-install compiz, etc, and then run the script. Now when I try to run, I get a core dump like so:

/usr/bin/compiz-manager-nvidia: line 383: 4691 Segmentation fault ${COMPIZ_BIN_PATH}${COMPIZ_NAME} $COMPIZ_OPTIONS "$@" $COMPIZ_PLUGINS

Methinks it does not like my 64 bit Gutsy system. :(

[some-guy]

try fusion-icon

[mbeierl]

My notes on how to get back to operational state quickly:

sudo aptitude reinstall compiz compiz-core compiz-fusion-plugins-extra compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-gnome compiz-plugins compizconfig-settings-manager gnome-compiz-manager libcompizconfig-backend-gconf libcompizconfig0 python-compizconfig emerald libemeraldengine0 libdecoration0

Man, didn't realize you'd be that quick :)

Ok, about to rerun the script. Should I be removing any packages first, or just go for it?

[some-guy]

go for it, the script already removes them :D

[some-guy]

added atlantis2, it has been tested :D

[mbeierl]

mark@ottws58:~/downloads/compiz/makecompiz8-gdeb-0.6.0$ fusion-icon
bash: fusion-icon: command not found

[some-guy]

I guess it doesn't like 64-bit Gutsy :(
run the uninstall script, then reinstall the official gutsy packages, afterward you can use my makegutsyplugins script :D

[Deciare]

Why should the processor architecture matter to a shell script?

mbeierl, could you please upload the logs.tar.gz file from the makecompiz script's directory?

[some-guy]

Why should the processor architecture matter to a shell script?
dunno, maybe it does something like suse, move all /lib(s) to /lib64(s) :D

[gaougalos]

Is there any newer version?
And thank you very much for this script

[some-guy]

If you mean compiz, no
this just install compiz fusion 0.6.0 (release) and some unofficial/additional plugins, I'm planning to update/add some newer versions of some ports soon :D
BTW, the version number will NOT change. (It takes too much energy and time since there are 5 scripts ;))

EDIT: Decided to completely change the structure :D, working on that now, has a lot of 'if's and 'elif's :D It'll probably get renamed :D

[HMartinho]

Wazup some-guy;

Planning on updating soon?

Cheers.

[some-guy]

I'm working on a new script, almost there :D
BTW, please remove the link from your sig until the new script is here ;)

[some-guy]

ok, this is just an update on my progress, it's not done yet, but it's one single thing!
Note: I had to change my mind on how to do it a few times so there is some old code (though it's marked)

done
That code isn't clean since it checks for the presence of both kde and gnome twice; I'm not sure whether it would be more efficient to just leave it like that instead of modifying the $COMPIZREMOVE string to remove any further occurrences of "kde" or "gnome".

[some-guy]

Is enabling it necessary at all? If it isn't disabled, won't it become enabled as long as it passes configure's checks?

[Deciare]

The issue is not with enabling, but with disabling. The draft of the script you posted above is set up so that if the user adds "gnome" to $COMPIZREMOVE, then --enable-kde is set, but if the user adds "kde" to $COMPIZREMOVE, then --enable-gtk --enable-gnome is set.

There's no way to disable both kde and gnome. I was suggesting that such a possibility be added to the script.

Of course, if the configure script automatically enables everything that was not explicitly disabled, then the code would be simple:
for p in $COMPIZREMOVE ; do
COMPIZARGS="$COMPIZARGS --disable-$p"
done
But can we count on the correct default behaviour from compiz's configure script? What if the default behaviour changes at some point?

[crdlb]

It really shouldn't be required to --disable-$DESKTOP for any DE you don't have installed. I know the compiz kde (and kde4) support is broken in that way though. I don't think the gtk/gnome support is though. *tries to figure out how exactly it's broken*. If that can be fixed, then it really wouldn't be necessary to have the build script disable either DE imho.

[Deciare]

I'm thinking of cases where both KDE and GNOME are installed, but the user wants neither g-w-d nor k-w-d(4).

Speaking of k-w-d4, it currently refuses to compile on my computer. Missing kdecoration_p.h and kdecoration_plugins_p.h, which are available in KDE4's source directories, but not installed.

[some-guy]

what if I mod it so I add

Yeah, you can do that. Kind of weird when both gnome and kde are already available as independent options, but it sure involves less processing than what I suggested. ;)

I'm thinking of cases where both KDE and GNOME are installed, but the user wants neither g-w-d nor k-w-d(4).

Speaking of k-w-d4, it currently refuses to compile on my computer. Missing kdecoration_p.h and kdecoration_plugins_p.h, which are available in KDE4's source directories, but not installed.
Is it really that important? They take up very little space if you already have the required libraries, and are certainly nice to have as a fallback :)

And yes, that's the kind of thing I'm talking about; it should check for *all* of the development headers before enabling.

Ok, compiz's buildsystem should now be fixed ^_^

It should now only enable things which can actually be built.

Yup, and the makefusion script (http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=5288) works great

Thanks !

(I haven't tested kde including kde4 and if it builts .)

[some-guy]

well, this doesn't install git ;)

[plun]

Well what does it install.........;)

plun@dunder:~$ compiz --version
compiz 0.7.1

Makefusion comes from Kristians early work, Franzrogar modified it and now
Telemako is maintainer.

Maybe its time for the english community to adopt it...:o

[some-guy]

it installs 0.6.0 (but after its finished I'm going to make a 0.7.0 version too)

and I have known about makefusion since it was makeccc, I used to use it, but I switched over to packages after getting tired of compiling ;)

OK

config.h

#define VERSION "0.7.1"

FWIW

The 0.7.0 branch was created 2 days ago. Interestingly, that means it excludes crdlb's fix for proper KDE and KDE4 detection, so some-guy's script will still have to hack around that unless the branch is updated prior to an official release, or some-guy makes a point of downloading the updated configure.ac (http://gitweb.opencompositing.org/?p=compiz;a=blob_plain;f=configure.ac;h=b2fbdbdd56 b669a93b4ff728aaaa2fcddd7a79e2) and replacing compiz-0.7.0's version with it.

[some-guy]

well, actually a branch was (strangely enough) never made, a commit was just tagged...

As for the script, I could have it download the commit with the fixed build system...

[plun]

The branch will probably be created when also C-F is bumped.

Master is master

http://gitweb.compiz-fusion.org/?p=compiz;a=summary

A git clone git://anongit.compiz-fusion.org/compiz

Version 0.7.1

Or :confused:

:)

[crdlb]

A branch won't be made until they prepare for the next *stable* release (0.8). Since 0.7 is a deveopment series, development just happens in master. If there is a 0.7.2 release, it will contain the buildsystem fix.

Current master builds with makefusion....

See attached log files (hidden directory inside makefusion dir)

The original script has been discontiued and the new one can be overviewed here (http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?p=48771#post48771)
I finally chose the name btvei (Better Than Vista Effects Installer :D)

[some-guy]

btvei is released! (see link above)
