<p>Hi all, I finally got around to producing an 0.8.10 release. Here are the details, which are also posted on my <a href="http://blog.northfield.ws">blog</a>.</p><p>It took a bit of setup and cook time but compiz 0.8.10 tarballs are
ready now including addons-experimental plugin package. Anyone who has
installed compiz before knows it can be confusing so here, I will focus
on installing 0.8.10 using <a title="Compiz 0.8.10 Source Packages" href="http://www.northfield.ws/projects/compiz/releases/0.8.10/" target="_blank">the tarballs</a>.</p>
<p>Step 1) – Install Xubuntu 14.10 or your variant of *buntu based Linux distribution with sudo installed.</p>
<p>Step 2) – Open a terminal</p>
<p>Step 3) – Install git</p>
<p>$ sudo apt-get install git</p>
<p>Step 4) – Download the build scripts with</p>
<p>$ git clone git://<a href="http://northfield.ws/compiz/scripts">northfield.ws/compiz/scripts</a> -b release-0.8.10</p>
<p>Step 5) – Run the INSTALL script</p>
<p>$ ./scripts/INSTALL</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>Step 6) – Start ccsm by typing ccsm in the terminal and verify it runs</p>
<p>$ ccsm</p>
<p>Step 7) – Enable basic plugins such as Window Decoration, Move
Window, Place Window, Resize Window and maybe Wobbly so you know it’s
working</p>
<p>Step 8) – Start compiz with</p>
<p>$ compiz –replace ccp</p>
<p>Step 9) – Open another terminal</p>
<p>Step 10) – Start a compiz window decorator</p>
<p>$ emerald –replace</p>
<p>If everything is working, then congratulations! You can add ‘emerald’
(without quotes) to ccsm>Effects>Window Decoration>Command
field so emerald starts when compiz does. If not, you can ask in
#compiz or #northfield on <a href="http://irc.freenode.net">irc.freenode.net</a> using your IRC client. Enjoy!</p>
