Makefusion running...;)

I think this should be in the announcements section.
Also when will compiz-fusion 0.8.0 be released?

[some-guy]

well, generally announcements are only made after a compiz and compiz fusion release, c-f 0.7.0 has yet to be released :)

As for 0.8.0, that'll probably come in a few months ;)

Yup....

GIT seems anyway to be broken, I cannot compile it. QT4 dev dependencies ?
.Build also breaks with kde4 build disabled. Compiz OK > ver 0.7.1

http://status.compiz-fusion.org/

The most important plugin, The Screensaver is also broken including rubik.:(:o

Well, Ubuntu directly delivered 0.7.0 for Hardy so after a big cleaning
basic is restored....:D

[plun]

OK again...

--enable-gtk --disable-kde --disable-kde4 --enable-librsvg

Screensaver compiles OK when the rest is built. C+ errors was also fixed.

Must remove /.compiz because of permission troubles... probably my
own mess.

EDIT

left and right flip wrong defined.
gconftool-2 -u /apps/compiz/plugins/rotate/allscreens/options/rotate_flip_right_edge

u don't need --enable-gtk ,--enable-librsvg

OK, I am lazy and using a script. Senor Telemakos makefusion script, "excellente", "bravissimo"..;)

# Compiz autogen.sh arguments selector
for p in $COMPIZREMOVE ; do
if [ $p = "gnome" ]; then
COMPIZARGS="$COMPIZARGS --enable-kde --disable-gtk --enable-librsvg"
elif [ $p = "kde" ]; then
COMPIZARGS="$COMPIZARGS --enable-gtk --disable-kde --enable-librsvg"
elif [ $p = "inotify" ]; then
COMPIZARGS="$COMPIZARGS --disable-inotify"
elif [ $p = "fuse" ]; then
COMPIZARGS="$COMPIZARGS --disable-fuse"
fi
done

Maybe kde4 works ..............

Does this version of compiz includes the object framework system? Dosen't it?

Here (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Specs/HardyDesktopEffects) says that this version (0.7) will work with OpenGL or XRender.


Assumptions

For Ubuntu 8.04 LTS compiz 0.7 is used as the base for "Visual Effects". According to information from upstream compiz 0.7 will be ready for the timeframe of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. compiz will introduce an object system and abstract the output, allowing output plugins based on XRender or OpenGL. The XRender-plugin will be used when OpenGL is not available or the OpenGL-support on the machine running compiz is missing some feature or extension.


Is this true?

[some-guy]

No, it is not, and I'm sure that was planned, but since David Reveman never merged the object-framework into core, XRender output was never made...

[shafin]

Will it be merged later,or is that abandoned?

[some-guy]

object-framework will be merged but David Reveman has a few more things to implement, and he is busy so it'll probably be in ~2-3 weeks, and 0.7 was already released, and 0.8 will most likely be branched off of that, so I don't think it'll make the 0.8 release either...

but don't quote me on that :D

[crdlb]

0.8 will just be the stable release of 0.7, so it certainly won't contain the object-framework. It's currently scheduled to go in for 0.9, so it won't be in a stable release until 0.10.
