[Ayatana-dev] Building unity from source

 

Hello,

I was trying to build unity from source following the instructions on
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/InstallationGuideFromSource>.

Building the source worked straight away. To figure out if compiz is
catching my version of unity I've just added a g_debug() statement.

So I logged out, logged in again, opened a terminal, run the command
compiz-unity-setup-env and restarted compiz (compiz --replace).

In the console output I could not find my added debug statement. So I
opened ccsm. There the unity plugin was already enabled. I disabled it,
enabled again and then compiz freezes.

My question is, if I really use the right workflow to build unity from
source? Or did I really hit a bug here?

What I noticed is that the directory
"/opt/unity/lib/python2.7/site-packages" which is exported as PYTHONPATH
does not exists on my system.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Oliver
