1) Slackware still ships the old 0.8.8 release of compiz that was
|
|
released back in 2011. The project has recently been picked up
|
|
and is being actively maintained by the compiz-reloaded team.
|
|
You can still use the 0.8.8 version of the compiz that ships
|
|
with Slackware with the companion packages since there has not been
|
|
any ABI changes to the code. But there is a good chance you will run
|
|
into stabilty issues if you do, so it is HIGHLY recommended you use
|
|
the version of compiz that matches the companion packages. Because
|
|
you will be replacing a stock Slackware package the SlackBuild is
|
|
not hosted at www.slackbuilds.org. You can download the SlackBuild
|
|
from the link below.
|
|
|
|
https://www.dropbox.com/s/t08cb1u00he4cyo/compiz-0.8.14-SlackBuild.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
This SlackBuild is based off the 14.2 stock Slackware SlackBuild so you
|
|
shouldn't run into any problems. If you do use this version of compiz you
|
|
will need to blacklist compiz in your /etc/slackpkg/blacklist file to keep
|
|
slackpkg from reverting the package back to 0.8.8
|
|
|
|
2) Compiz now has basic support for the MATE desktop. You will have to install
|
|
MATE before you install compiz for support. The MATE slackware project
|
|
website is located here https://mateslackbuilds.github.io/
|
|
|
|
3) The compizconfig-backend-kconfig4 package has been removed from the
|
|
project so if you are upgrading from a previous version you will want
|
|
to remove this package. Also compiz-plugins-unsupported has now been
|
|
renamed to compiz-plugins-experimental so you will need to remove
|
|
compiz-plugins-unsupported before you upgrade to the newest packages.
|
|
|
|
4) The install order has compiz listed twice. libcompizconfig depends
|
|
on compiz, but compiz has some extra window decorator related features
|
|
that depend on libcompizconfig. So if you want these extra features you
|
|
will have to recompile compiz again AFTER you build and install
|
|
libcompizconfig. This is not required it is just an option if you want
|
|
to do it.
|
|
|
|
5) After you install compiz and the companion packages you will need to
|
|
launch CCSM and enable "Move", "Resize Window", and "Window Decorations"
|
|
before you start compiz. This way you can manage your windows. After
|
|
you enable those three options you can start compiz and customize to
|
|
your liking.
