@sliposk I was looking at this error just now coincidentally! The problem is with the CMake update to day. Downgrade to CMake 3.1 and the build will work. I think the issue is something to with character encoding - from the CMake 3.2 release notes: "Files written in the cmake-language(7), such as CMakeLists.txt or *.cmake files, are now expected to be encoded as UTF-8. If files are already ASCII, they will be compatible. If files were in a different encoding, including Latin 1, they will need to be converted."

Hello, Just went to update to 0.9.12.1-2 and it stopped building with a error. ( mkdir: cannot create directory 'build': File exists ) Looks like this is a new package update as of today 3-18-2015. I will look deeper to see if I can find a fix.

This is a trivial update to rationalise the Compiz optdeps. I removed the KDE4 stuff as I'm pretty sure the number of people using the KDE window decorator is nil. I've also removed gnome-control-center as that seems to serve no function at all. Finally, I removed gconf - I can't think of a single reason why someone would still want to build Compiz with the GConf Backend. Hope this acceptable for everyone.

Updated to 0.9.12.1

Hi folks. If any of you were getting an error like the one below: error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) compiz: /usr/lib64 exists in filesystem Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded. ==> WARNING: Failed to install built package(s). it's because pacman 4.2 no longer follows symbolic links like /usr/lib64. I've fixed the PKGBUILD so that compiz will use /usr/lib instead of /usr/lib64 - compiz should install successfully now.

@korrode thanks a lot! worked perfectly

@nfishr: The problem is you need to install metacity to build (not just when you install) this package now, but your current compiz installation of course depends on metacity2. You can just do this: sudo pacman -Sdd metacity y yaourt compiz

nfishr commented on 2015-01-07 09:17 (UTC)

Strangely enough, when i try to update compiz using yaourt, i get: :: metacity and metacity2 are in conflict. Remove metacity2? [y/N] when i go 'N', i get: error: unresolvable package conflicts detected error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies) :: metacity and metacity2 are in conflict ==> Restart building compiz ? [y/N] ==> ------------------------------- ==> ERROR: unable to update when i go 'y', i get: error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: compiz: requires metacity2 ==> Restart building compiz ? [y/N] ==> ------------------------------- ==> ==> ERROR: unable to update what can i do now? Regards nfshr

I've removed compiz-bzr from conflicts. Unstable packages should be the ones to conflict with stable packages, not the other way around.
