I'm trying to compile my own copy of transset-df since I can't find it in apt. The binary of transset that is in apt works fine, but transset and transset-df both refuse to compile. I'm currently using breezy now, but I was having the exact same problem while on hoary so I'm not sure it matters...

(Note that I have libxcomposite, libxfixes, libxdamage, and libxrender installed.)

shawnz@ubuntu-server:/tmp/transset-df-4$ cat Makefile
PACKAGES=xcomposite xfixes xdamage xrender
LIBS=`pkg-config --libs ${PACKAGES}` -lm
INCS=`pkg-config --cflags ${PACKAGES}`
CFLAGS = -Wall

.c.o:
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(INCS) -c $*.c

OBJS=transSet.o dsimple.o

transset-df: $(OBJS)
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o $@ $(OBJS) $(LIBS)

$(OBJS): dsimple.h

install:
cp transset-df /usr/bin

clean:
rm -f $(OBJS) transset-df
shawnz@ubuntu-server:/tmp/transset-df-4$ make
cc -Wall `pkg-config --cflags xcomposite xfixes xdamage xrender` -c transSet.c
Package xcomposite was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xcomposite.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

I found out what was wrong \o/

I was able to checkinstall it and now I have a debian package for it if anyone wants it. http://shoutbox.menthix.net/attachment.php?pid=537288
