Bug 497564 – [desktop-effects overlay] x11-wm/compiz-0.9.9.9999 - several plugins are disabled due to missing dependencies

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Nikita Zlobin 2014-01-08 18:45:40 UTC]

I guess, it is issue in build system. At the end of configuration, in list of enabled plugins, several plugins are seen disabled. Moreover, there is no even cmake option to enable/disable them, as for most other plugins.

Disabled plugins (space-delimited for easier selection):
animationaddon bicubic blur colorfilter group loginout reflex stackswitch trip

Reproducible: Always

Found lock. They suppose they are not ported yet and are disabled in CMakeLists.txt from plugins dir. Very strange - i have them working in ubuntu with compiz 0.9.8-1+bzr3318 (origin - Compiz Staging ppa), including plugins of same version.

Ebuilds in desktop-effects overlay lacks some dependencies and contains automagic - that's why some plugins are disabled if such automagic deps can not be found installed on your system.

Hm... i looked harder into bzr history and found, that it is made in repo itself - in bzr revision 3320 and still are disabled (in head of branch 0.9.11).

I tried to build them, removing lock, but all of them failed to build. So it seems to be needed in repo itself.

The overlay is being disabled wrt #625712.
