{{Package-Introduction|3D-Desktop is an OpenGL program for switching virtual desktops in a seamless 3-dimensional manner on Linux. Somewhat old school in the age of Compiz and Beryl, but works great with modern hardware.|http://desk3d.sourceforge.net/index.php}}

== Dependencies ==

=== Required ===
* [[X Window System]]
* [[Imlib2]]

== Non-Multilib ==

patch -np1 -i ../3ddesktop-{{3ddesktop-Version}}-gcc4-1.patch &&
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make

Install the package:

make install

== Multilib ==

<b>This package does not provide any libraries so only one installation is required.</b>

=== 32Bit ===

patch -np1 -i ../3ddesktop-{{3ddesktop-Version}}-gcc4-1.patch &&
CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" ./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make

Install the package:

make install

=== N32 ===

Compile the package:

patch -np1 -i ../3ddesktop-{{3ddesktop-Version}}-gcc4-1.patch &&
CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" ./configure --prefix=/usr \
--libdir=/usr/lib32 &&
make

Install the package:

make install

=== 64Bit ===

Compile the package:

patch -np1 -i ../3ddesktop-{{3ddesktop-Version}}-gcc4-1.patch &&
CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" ./configure --prefix=/usr \
--libdir=/usr/lib64 &&
make

Install the package:

make install

== Configuring ==

Edit ~/.3ddesktop/3ddesktop.conf or /etc/3ddesktop.conf. You can add key and mouse bindings so you don't need to use the command line to switch desktops. Sometimes, when using keybindings, the key will repeat and launch multiple instances of 3ddesk. This will make you have to choose the desktop twice or even three times before it will exit. Here is a simple shell script to fix this.

cat > /usr/bin/3ddesk-once << "EOF"
#!/bin/sh
# This is a script that runs 3ddesk only once, and exits if there is already one running.
if [ -e /tmp/3ddesktop-lock ]; then
echo "3ddesk cannot have more than one instance running at one time."
else
echo "">/tmp/3ddesktop-lock &
3ddesk
rm /tmp/3ddesktop-lock
fi
EOF

chmod +x /usr/bin/3ddesk-once

Now bind 3ddesk-once to your keys.
