Howto: Compile MaCoPiX 1.4.1 under Edgy
First, an additional thank-you to Cake en Soda for pointing this out. This is a fun, low-level eye candy application that shouldn’t tax your system too much, and will give you something funky to show off to your Windows friends. And if you’re an anime fan, you’ll go nuts over it.
MaCoPiX puts a small animated character on your window frames.
You can change the mascot, and each one has different animations. There are a lot of other nifty options too — like polling your account for new e-mails (although to be honest, I haven’t played with that) and some other things. Play around with it and check out all the bells and whistles.
Most of the dependencies are actually listed on the site’s home page. I’ve listed them here as Ubuntu packages, so you don’t have to hunt down the dev versions.
