README.md

Compton

This is a development branch, bug to be expected

This is forked from the original Compton because that seems to have become unmaintained. I'll merge pull requests as they appear upstream, as well as trying to fix bugs reported to upstream, or found by myself.

The original README can be found here

Build

Dependencies

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

  • libx11
  • 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 -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)
  • 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
