Report of successful Beryl packages build
Yesterday, I build Beryl (Compiz fork by Quinstorm and others), with the
only quirk of installing libxcomposite 0.3.0 from incoming.debian.org.
By now, I think libxcomposite is in unstable, so all requirements to
build Beryl (and Compiz) are NOW in unstable. Please, use that version
of libxcomposite, in order to avoid missed functions when executing
(previous versions of the library DON'T work). My hardware is a Dell
Inspiron 510m laptop, with i855GM with 128 MB shared memory (yes, it is
rather slow, but works!!!).
When building the packages, there is a small flaw, since there are a
self-dependence, so the packages need a small corrections (I build it
manually, and after building beryl-core, you have to install it in order
to build the rest of packages: beryl, beryl-plugins, beryl-settings,
emerald, emerald-theme-manager.
For running Beryl, I followed the instructions on this page:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beryl. For Beryl source code, check
out www.beryl-project.org.
I hope this to help. Greetings,
Jose Manuel Delgado Mendinueta (Mendi)
