INSTALL SCRIPT METHOD
    Install scripts will work with any distribution. The install scripts
    will only install dependencies on Ubuntu based systems. IF you are
    using a different system, the scripts will tell you what dependencies
    you will need to install MANUALLY. Once dependencies are satisfied, the
    scripts will compile and install compiz-reloaded for you.

Manjaro users: Package emerald09 will ask to replace emerald-git if you
have it installed. You may end up breaking compiz if you allow the update.
You may also get other errors. Since I run without window borders, I
removed emerald-git from my system. You can also use "IgnorePkg = emerald0.9"
in your /etc/pacman.conf file. This will prevent pacman from offering to
push the update to you.

COMPIZ-EFFECTS ON ENLIGHTENMENT (E-17)?

I compiled and ran it yesterday on voidlinux. compiling was SUPERSIMPLE and took me about 10 minutes.
However, you have to note, that the compiz-module is for MOKSHA, a fork of e17. it will NOT work on e17, e18, e19 or e20 (I tried the later myself and crushed it).

And indeed, there are guides for building it on a variety of systems:

• You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
• You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
• You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
• Obviously you can add the Bodhi-Repositories on Ubuntu-Systems and install from there without compiling

There are also some You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login and of course the compiz-effects, which require a particular build-/install-order:

• You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
• You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
• You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

Note, that once installed, Ecomorph has to be ENABLED in the modules-section of the menu (VERY brief description You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login).

If necessary, I can recompile & install Moksha on my system and write a more in-depth guide to this

Edit1:
What I did (after sastisfying all dependencies, which were mostly -dev packages of enlightenment and its components) was downloading the latest release of moksha from github: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

Code: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

cd moksha-desktop
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
make
sudo make install
cd ~/
Afterwards, I cloned the two compiz modules for Moksha and built those:

Code: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

git clone https://github.com/JeffHoogland/ecomp
cd ecomp
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
make
sudo make install
cd ~/

Code: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

git clone https://github.com/JeffHoogland/ecomorph
cd ecomorph
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
make
sudo make install
cd ~/
And i was done

Note:
if you start your desktop with "startx", edit your ~/.xinitrc and add "exec enlightenment_start" to the end of it.

Edit2:
There is an AUR-package for Moksha: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
However, none for Ecomp or Ecomorph, so you have to build them manually (as shown above).
