ABS issues

Either I suck, or ABS sucks.

I can't get compiz from the repos to work, so I thought I'd try the ABS. I tried compiz-bcop, but it kept saying it couldn't satisfy dependencies (it wanted compiz, which was already installed, and even if I let it reinstall, it would say it was missing compiz). Then I tried compiz-git. This one started working a bit, but after running the make process for a while, it spit out:

checking for COMPIZ... configure: error: Package requirements (x11-xcb xcomposite xfixes xdamage xrandr xinerama ice sm libxml-2.0 libxslt libstartup-notification-1.0 >= 0.7) were not met:
No package 'x11-xcb' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables COMPIZ_CFLAGS
and COMPIZ_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
==> ERROR: Build Failed. Aborting...

Am I completely messing up, or is this just a common thing with ABS?

it used to be that you needed a special version of libx11 that is built with xcb support, but it seems to have disappeared from aur. try installing fusion-icon-git instead and see what you get.

if it doesn't work, just add this to your pacman.conf (depending on your architecture) and then do "pacman -Sy compiz-fusion compiz-fusion-extra":

[compiz-fusion]

Its on testing the wiki has the howto install compiz-fusion.

I had a little problem even though I had testing in my conf, but found pacman -S testing/libx11 worked around it.
