Metisse on openSUSE

After learning that Mandriva has shipped Metisse on one of their new release, I decided to give Metisse a try on my machine running openSUSE. It was easier to build and than I imagined.
Here is how it looks:
To install:
wget http://insitu.lri.fr/metisse/download/0.4.0-rc4/nucleo-0.6.tar.bz2 tar xjvf nucleo-0.6.tar.bz2 cd nucleo-0.6 && ./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make install
wget http://insitu.lri.fr/metisse/download/0.4.0-rc4/metisse-0.4.0-rc4.tar.bz2 tar xjvf metisse-0.4.0-rc4.tar.bz2 cd metisse-0.4.0-rc4 && ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-glx-x86 && make && make install
Only thing other than build requires for beryl I had to install mDNSresponder-devel and libstroke.
To run:
init 3
Xmetisse -ac -geometry 1024x768 :1 >& /tmp/Xmetisse-log &
X :1&
DISPLAY=:1 xterm&
Control+Alt+F8
Now in xterm run:
metisse-start-fvwm -wd :1 >& /tmp/compositor-log &
That's it. Play with it take some screenshots and impress the guys who paid $$$ for that other OS.
Hopefully we would soon have some of the stuff that is possible in Metisse in Compiz and Beryl (Quinnstorm is already in dialogue with metisse devs)
Here is some help:

That’s great to hear that beryl devs are concerning about the metisse project. If the whole oss community has such a open mind, it will benefit EVERYBODY.
I’ve tried to build metisse on my ubuntu box a while ago with no luck, after reading this blog I decide to try it again. Hope we can get a positive reply from metisse devs.
Looking forward to this.

I have no idea what you said but thanks

Awesome! Any chance of packages?
It would be really nice to have your blog on the planetsuse, feed, too. Many openSUSE members aren’t hearing about the excellent innovations because it’s not on there too :P.

by the way you need mDNSResponder pkg
on gentoo:
emerge -av mDNSResponder

You are not supposed to start beryl in metisse.
