added fallback sources since main download source is offline since at least 2026/06/18.

if main download source remains offline, at some point will likely remove fallback url function, as well as change upstream url to github mirror: https://github.com/lectrode/compiz

no functional changes. does not require update unless you need to rebuild.

@photonx i have not successfully confirmed that the workaround(s) linked fix the issue. disabling "Place Windows" plugin does fix the issue, but that seems like a very minor cosmetic issue to merit disabling useful functionality.

i'd also be concerned about the manual positioning workaround negatively affecting other panel modes (like Deskbar or Vertical).

Hi, I stumbled upon an issue when the Whisker Menu in Xfce has an offset when used in a bottom panel, when the Place Windows plugin in CCSM is active. There is a workaround described here, which also works for Whisker Menu (just use "title=Whisker Menu" instead of "name=mintMenu.py" though the entry for the mintmenu might be useful as well): https://github.com/linuxmint/mintmenu/issues/121#issuecomment-170406477 Maybe this could get applied automatically with a patch? Thanks!

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

pkgbuild has been updated with the build fix

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.
