[compiz] Building Compiz

Hi Folks,

I work at VMware, where I'm making the multi-monitor feature new in Workstation 
6.0 (just released!) more robust. Long story short, window managers don't 
consistently expose a good way for a single window to go fullscreen across more 
than monitor, which is what we need to do to display the monitors we expose to a 
guest virtual machine. So we've proposed a new hint for the wm-spec that lets us 
do this in a clean way; anticipating its approval (or something close to it), 
I'm implementing the functionality in a variety of window managers, including 
Compiz.

Anyway, I got the source via git and I'm trying to build it. I'm not having much 
luck. I'm running Ubuntu Dapper and have the latest version of XFixes according 
to apt-get, but get this error when I try make:
cursor.o: In function `addCursor':/src/compiz/src/cursor.c:57: undefined 
reference to `XFixesHideCursor'

Any idea what's going on?

Thanks!


Grant
