Raw Blame History

Compton

This is a development branch, bug to be expected

This is forked from the original Compton because that seems to have become unmaintained.

The current battle plan of this fork is to refactor it to make the code possible to maintain, so potential contributors won't be scared away when they take a look at the code.

We also try to fix bugs.

Build

Dependencies

Assuming you already have all the usual building tools installed (e.g. gcc, meson, ninja, etc.), you still need:

libx11
libx11-xcb
libXext
xproto
xcb
xcb-damage
xcb-xfixes
xcb-shape
xcb-renderutil
xcb-render
xcb-randr
xcb-composite
xcb-image
xcb-present
xcb-xinerama (optional, disable with the -Dxinerama=false meson configure flag)
pixman
libdbus (optional, disable with the -Ddbus=false meson configure flag)
libconfig (optional, disable with the -Dconfig_file=false meson configure flag)
libxdg-basedir (optional, disable with the -Dconfig_file=false meson configure flag)
libGL (optional, disable with the -Dopengl=false meson configure flag)
libpcre (optional, disable with the -Dregex=false meson configure flag)
libev

To build the documents, you need asciidoc

To build

$ meson --buildtype=release . build
$ ninja -C build

On FreeBSD, ld does not look by default in /usr/local/lib, and you will get errors about some libraries being not found. To fix that, append LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib":

$ LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" meson --buildtype=release . build
$ ninja -C build

Built binary can be found in build/src

To install

$ ninja -C build install

Default install prefix is /usr/local, you can change it with meson configure -Dprefix=<path> build
