Hi all,

I have compiled the compiz from the source code in my ubuntu as below :-

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.10 DISTRIB_CODENAME=intrepid DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 8.10"

i downloaded the source compiz-0.7.8.tar.gz and compiled it install whatever is needed for the "./configure" and "make" ; at last i have the compiz binary in compiz-0.7.8/src/compiz -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 942522 2009-01-20 17:28 src/compiz

My Qns are:-

  1. is Compiz alone can run on the desktop with the same effects?
  2. what is compiz.real ? i have seen that compiz.real is a binary in the /usr/bin/ and there is a line in a forum that compiz.real is a compiz binary and compiz is the wrapper script who does that change?
  3. How can i run my compiled compiz binary ?

Thanks in advance. ....
