Compiz Fusion is going places since its existance. Offlate it has become awesome.
Here is a tutorial to compile the latest compiz from git.
First, see here if it is safe to run compiz-git.
Getting Git
sudo apt-get install git git-core
Getting Compiz-git
wget http://jobcalls.in/adi/compiz-git.tar.gz
tar xzf compiz-git.tar.gz
chmod -R 777 compiz-git
You should now have a directory called compiz-git in your home-directory
Install compiz from git
cd compiz-git
./compiz-git install
Update compiz from git
cd compiz-git
./compiz-git update
Running compiz-fusion
fusion-icon
OR Run Compiz Fusion Icon (in your menu)
Uninstall compiz from git (which you would never do :))
cd compiz-git
./compiz-git uninstall
cd ..
rm -r compiz-git
New feature
What do you get after doing all these ??
and lots more. Will update soon.
Enjoy Compiz. Special thanks to Martijn Bastiaan.

I just done as you had written, but I don’t have ANY new plugins from standard ubuntu 8.04 😦
there were no error whatsoever
ok, my fault. it didn’t reset shell just turn on compiz / turn off (several times) but after reset it works 😀
Ok, but do I need to uninstall the regular compiz before I install compiz from git?
hi there,
great How To, and i’d followed each step, but it seems that i’m missing cube reflection and deformation plugin. just wondering if anyone else have experienced the same problem?
@ slavco
Its not a compulsion. If you uninstall always safe. There would be no mix and match.
@ NukieNuggz
The system needs a restart. Run ccsm after a restart.
@ Aditya Kavoor
I did restart after installation, and i did run ccsm after startup, and still i see no option for cube reflection and deformation. i’ve must of installed it incorrectly.. 😦
@ Aditya Kavoor
Nevermind, got it to working now, i’ve must of made a mistake somewhere when installing CF, but now i got it working…again thanks for a great How To 😀
@ NukieNuggz
Cool! Glad that it worked for you. Enjoy Compiz Fusion

Unfortunaly I get: “bash: ./compiz-git: Permission denied” when I do ./compiz-git install…
Any idea what that can be? Am running Ubuntu 8.04.1 64bit.
type this in terminal and then re-run the code.
sudo chmod -R 777 compiz-git
That worked like a charm, thanks. Compiling now 🙂

I reinstall my Ubuntu 8.04 and install compiz-git
↓
$ sudo apt-get autoremove –purge compiz compiz-*
$ wget http://www.xs4all.nl/~mgj1/downloads/compiz-git-newest.tar.gz
$ tar xzf compiz-git-newest.tar.gz
$ cd compiz-git
$ sudo ./compiz-git install
but, in the end it’s display “Pulling compiz git… failed!”
Can you tell me how fix this? or reinstall compiz-git?
