When library names like libprotobuf.so.XX change you just need to rebuild compiz. It's not a problem with the PKGBUILD. This is normal for AUR packages. Packages in the official repos also get rebuilt when libraries are updated.

Note that you shouldn't symlink new library names to old. This will create problems for you further down the line.

@kanehekili Library errors indicate that you need to rebuild. Manjaro recently pushed some significant updates. If you already rebuilt recently (within the last day), there's nothing I can do to help you. This package is working as expected on vanilla Arch.

@xiota as I said: compiled compiz in a chroot environment, and it worked until the last update. Been using this package for a long time... It looks like the libstdc++.so.6 doesn't seem to provide some function calls.

@kanehekili "Distro is Manjaro..." – This may be the problem. I checked package on Arch and it doesn't have that problem.

Are you building yourself or using a prebuilt package from elsewhere? If using a prebuilt package, the problem is most likely that the build environment doesn't match Manjaro.

Building it in chroot compiz does not start:

compiz: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.15' not found (required by /usr/lib/libcompiz_core.so.ABI-20180221) Distro is Manjaro... Anyone has an idea?

The 3-24 update completely fixes the issues with Compiz and fusion-icon. So now it's back to working perfectly.

This worked perfectly with KDE6 and Xorg as of 2024-3-15. But something in the last Arch update has broken it. fusion-icon doesn(t start at all. compiz --replace will work, but major plugins like the cube and wobbly windows are disabled.

Please have a look at this. Thanks!!

@kinoru Looks like a problem with Python 3.12. Arch is still on 3.11. Should be resolved by installing python-setuptools. I'll review this package and add it with any other needed updates, since it will eventually be needed when Arch upgrades Python. But I don't see setuptools available for 3.12 yet, so you're on your own figuring out how to provide it.

@xiota Ah yes it's building now in a clean chroot. I should have checked, sorry :)

@shoryuken I am unable to replicate. Try clearing cache and building in a clean chroot.
