(Solved) compiz 0.9.12.1-2 Will not build

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.

Run 'makepkg -C' or change the "mkdir build" to "mkdir -p build".

I had to downgrade cmake 3.2 to cmake 3.1 and it will build. Check comments in the Aur.

Do you mean that downgrading cmake solved the issue with mkdir too?

The mkdir error went away after I downgraded to cmake 3.1 and was able to build compiz. After I got compiz to install I upgraded back to cmake 3.2 .  All is fine.

Hello folks. I've added a small fix for building compiz/compiz-bzr with CMake 3.2. See comments for either package.

@karol The real error was related to CMake. The mkdir error came from not having a clean srcdir. Compiz needs to be built in a separate directory which cannot be created twice.
