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, prepend 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
