Hi all,
Maybe this will sound some kind of crazy, but someone has thinking about compile or build Compiz on OS X?
Is that posible?
Regards.

I haven't, but it's an interesting notion. I think it just requires a Mesa library, right?

I'm involved in that, but I think that this is maybe impossible job because Compiz was based on Gnome or KDE and I think that to make it possible someone that knows in deep the OS X GUI needs to hack into the Compiz code.
In the last days, I spent some time, but when I try to configure Compiz to get it compiled, it requires other library, I go to get that library, but it requires an other thing and so on. Then I think, this software is made to run with Gnome, I never will get it working with my Mac.
So I am posting on this forum to know if someone else have tried this thing also.

You can install Gnome on a Mac, you know.

Keep in mind that Compiz and Beryl are made for the X11 window system, not Quartz. You can use them on OSX as part of the X11 subsystem, but they'll only work for X11 apps.

Thanks guys, I apreciate a lot your answers, but I do not want to install Gnome or KDE on my Mac, if I was looking for that, I were installed some Linux Distro on it.
I think that this is not possible for a while, I will look later, to check if some one was interested on hack it and then i will follow his procedure.
For a while i will use this software VirtueDesktops that seems to do some kind of a desktop cube.
Thanks guys, see you later.

FYI, A Virtual desktops feature is apparently built into Mac OS X 10.5 (not yet released).
