Compiling Compiz 0.9.4

Zaileion · 07-17-2015, 09:42 AM

Yeah, I know Compiz is dead... I don't care, I like it and am currently keeping it alive on my Home Theater Computer. I love the effects, the embedded terminal, and multiple other things that one cannot do without it. I am a electronics integrator for a living and gadget myself to death. I have a extensive home theater system with a computer as the primary control system and Compiz makes things just freaking awesome looking!! SO no need to detail how and why Compiz is dead, i already know...

I'm trying to compile compiz 0.9.4 and i am getting this error. Can anyone help? i can upload the sourcecode to dropbox or google drive or whatever folder if anyone wants to try. Sure could use any help from someone with experience.

I was following the instructions from this link: http://wiki.compiz.org/C%2B%2BCompiling

Other links i tried out, sometimes combining them and trying different options and combinations:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1838173

Mate 17.2 this time around.

Tried with Debian and LMDE-2 had very similar errors.

Code:

$ cmake ../ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/lib

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:5 (find_package):
  By not providing "FindCompiz.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
  asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "Compiz", but
  CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Compiz" with any
  of the following names:

    CompizConfig.cmake
    compiz-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "Compiz" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "Compiz_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "Compiz"
  provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
  installed.

Yeah, I know Compiz is dead... I don't care, I like it and am currently keeping it alive

then might i make a suggestion
Use a operating system that is still supported and uses it

Debian 6
CentOS 5
CentOS 6

and use Gnome2 desktop

but if you must use the new Mate DE
do not use a new version of gcc

4.8 is too new

use gcc 4.1 side by side with 4.8

and as per the FIX posted IN the error
did you do the fix ?

Code:

  Add the installation prefix of "Compiz" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "Compiz_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "Compiz"
  provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
  installed.

do it
then erase/delete the old "BUILD" folder for the cmake project
and rerun

Fantastic man! First response that is actually helpful, ive been asking around for several days now!

I will certainly try your suggested GNU OS's.

What is gcc? (ill look it up but if you’ve got the will to write a sentence or 2 that would be cool)

I use Mate DE because of the menu and its layout, search, favourites and customizations. I'm not necessary partial to the DE itself. Alternatives?

Following the instructions

Code:

 Add the installation prefix of "Compiz" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "Compiz_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "Compiz"
  provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
  installed.

Is the problem. I have tried, believe me i have for days and days up till 3, 4 or 5 am trying. I simply cannot find out how. ive been through 20, 30, 40 odd pages on google, duckduckgo, yahoo... For the life of me i cannot figure out how to:

If you could give just a few minutes of your time and provide a crash course on how one would do this i would be extremely grateful.

that is YOUR compiler as your output stated

Code:

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8

you are using version 4.8 on a 64 bit os

if you do not know that much

then there is not much help i can be

Zaileion · 07-23-2015, 07:16 AM

Come on JohnVV. A little more to go on would be great
I'm really trying to get this to compile.

So I need to change my primary compiler version to 4.1

And how do I edit the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH?

Suffice it to say I'm not a programmer I'm just trying to get a certain version of compiz running. But I'll gladly absorb all the knowledge I can gather. Give me enough to go on and I'll make it work.

Thanks for the help!!

You have to open the file configure. You should find it in the directory of Compiz_0.9.4.
In this file, search for CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH with Strg+F.

You can also execute ./configure like this: ./configure CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/your/path
