apologies for the delay - i did not have access to my personal computer for some time

pkgbuild has been updated with the build fix

beluga2 commented on 2025-05-07 04:08 (UTC)

Thank you for the fix, darkbaboon. I was able to compile using the code you posted.

darkbaboon commented on 2025-05-06 23:43 (UTC)

In order to resolve the build error, you need to add in the PKGBUILD:

at the end of the prepare() section:

# adjust declarations sed -E \ -e 's&^(destroy_(bare|normal|switcher)_frame)\s?.;$&\1 (decor_frame_t frame);&' \ -i "gtk/window-decorator/gtk-window-decorator.h"

and at the beginning of the build() section: export CXXFLAGS+=" -Wno-error=incompatible-pointer-types"

A build error has been reported at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compiz recently, there is also a fix in the latest rev. Maybe it is the same issue.

I am currently unable to compile. I have tried to assess the error log and have the following error around 38%: A header warning appears about being deprecated in C++17. (warning "<ciso646> is deprecated in C++17, use <version> to detect implementation-specific macros") Next, the build proceeds to link a shared library (libcompizconfig.so). After linking, there is a final error:   make: *** [Makefile:166: all] Error 2   ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().   ...   error making: compiz-easy-patch – exit status 4. There is no single “smoking gun” error message in the log. Is there anything I can do to solve this?

I've recently started getting an error with ccsm and it fails to start even after recompiling. Anyone know why this is suddenly happening? I found this https://askubuntu.com/a/1526154 but the solution proposed doesn't help.

$ ccsm

When you notice that CCSM fails to start, just rebuild compiz-easy-patch.

In the comments of this issue are some thoughts on how to automatize this (I haven't tested them myself yet though): https://github.com/Jguer/yay/issues/1671

Pardon my ignorance but what is the proper way to deal with protobuf versioning issues? I originally had a problem with the vanilla compiz package and being unable to update my system due to protobuf dep. I switched my compiz installation over to compiz-easy-patch due to some comments I read in the compiz package, thinking that this might help the issue .. however now I've updated my system and ccsm won't run anymore because protobuf updated 28.1->28.2 and ccsm still depends on 28.1. Protobuf is always breaking everything

@PhotonX (3rd time's the charm...) I can confirm that patch fixes the crash triggered by wobbly windows in expo. I've added the patch to this package (and updated srcinfo) - let me know if there are any issues.
