Compiz fusion git [how to]

[alex88]

This is the way to get the lastest compiz-fusion from the git core, so lastest plugins etc...

First remove all compiz packages from synaptic...

apt-get remove compiz*

install git-core to download from git

apt-get install git-core

download auto installer script

git clone git://anongit.compiz-fusion.org/users/omega/scripts

get into script dir

cd scripts

and, remove compiz, install compile deps and download and install

./git-compiz --purge
./git-compiz --check-dep
./git-compiz

at reboot we have the lastest compiz installed.. To update just go into scripts dir and type

./git-compiz

it automatically downloads new sources, compiles it and installs..

(the plugin headtrack doesn't compile, press n if it asks to abort)..

In the future please create your own thread rather than hijacking some one else's. This will be your only warning.
