I'm using compiz on my Slack 12 DLG 2.18 system. I used the Slack x11.Slackbuild and modified the configuration to enable the gtk stuff. It works fine with ini but not so well with gconf. Anyway, that's not my question.
My question is, how do you build the extra plugins that are available? When I try to make them, I get some errors with functions seem pretty fundamental like paintWindow. This, for example:
Code:
compiling : snow.c -> build/libsnow.losnow.c: In function 'snowPaintScreen':
snow.c:419: warning: passing argument 3 of 's->paintScreen' from incompatible pointer type
snow.c:419: warning: passing argument 4 of 's->paintScreen' makes pointer from integer without a cast
snow.c:419: error: too few arguments to function 's->paintScreen'
snow.c:420: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
snow.c: In function 'snowPaintWindow':
snow.c:438: warning: passing argument 3 of 'w->screen->paintWindow' from incompatible pointer type
snow.c:438: warning: passing argument 4 of 'w->screen->paintWindow' makes pointer from integer without a cast
snow.c:438: error: too few arguments to function 'w->screen->paintWindow'

snow.c: In function 'snowInitScreen':
snow.c:592: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
snow.c:596: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
make: *** [build/libsnow.lo] Error 1
BTW, for anyone interested in this, I downloaded the latest version 0.5.2, converted it from a tar.gz to a tar.bz2, replaced the 0.5.0 sources in the src/app directory of the slackware x11 build directory, reran "x11.SlackBuild app compiz", and upgraded with the newly created package. All went smoothly. The upgraded version seems to run more smoothly, eg. when dragging a window from one side of the cube to another I no longer get the transient black stripe I used to get.
I had to downgrade to 0.5.0, but they did compile fine, thanks. I still want to know why it doesn't compile the other way. I'd like to stick with 0.5.2. I've also posted on the compiz forum, and will report back here if I find out.
