Help needed with compiling Emerald

This issue relates to my previous post http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/how-to-get-compiz-working

Essentially, from what I understand compiz requires an external window decorator to get the decorator plugin working. After trying all sorts of window managers, jwm, xfwm4 etc I was not able to make any progress and if I try to run any of them I get an error message stating that a window manager (compiz) is already running and if I use --replace option, it takes me back to the Slim login.

The Compiz Wiki tells me that I could run emerald as a decorator and since emerald is not in the Slitaz repo, I downloaded emerald-0.8.8 from http://releases.compiz-fusion.org/0.8.8/ and tried to compile it.

I ran .configure from the source directory and it worked without any errors. However, when I ran make check (before doing a make), make fails with following errors.

Any help to resolve this issue is greatly appreciated.
