@Phillip:
The instructions on how to compile/build Emerald are posted in the bug
description, but I will repost them again:
git clone git://anongit.compiz.org/fusion/decorators/emerald
cd emerald
git checkout -b compiz++ origin/compiz++
./autogen.sh
export "LIBS=-ldl -lm" && ./configure
make
To install:
sudo make install
** Summary changed:
- Emerald (the original Compiz Window Decorator) not available in Precise and
Quantal, while it was working on all Ubuntu versions before [needs-packaging]
+ Emerald (the original Compiz Window Decorator) not available in Precise,
Quantal, Raring and Saucy, while it was working on all Ubuntu versions before
[needs-packaging]
** Changed in: emerald (Ubuntu)
Status: Invalid => Confirmed
** Description changed:
I hope Emerald does not get forgotten and someone can fix this, because
it is still by far the best window decorator available, coupled with a
great theme manager and possibilities for the power user to adjust
window decorations in both looks and functionality.
For example the window decoration can be individualized and upgraded by
adding buttons to make windows Sticky/Unsticky Shade/Unshade Roll-
Up/Down or by adding glow, changing fonts and adjusting
shadows/transparency and colors.
All of those functionality and the great look with transparency and glow
cannot be matched by any other available window decorator out there, so
this is a big regression on Precise and Quantal for many users, who used
to use it on Ubuntu before.
Also it was designed to accomplish Compiz and Compiz without Emerald is
not Compiz anymore, while the combination Compiz/Emerald/Unity was
- really great in the past and still is (with 2 minor bugs, which still
- need to be fixed).
+ really great in the past and still is.
Here a few links showing the undaunted popularity of Emerald:

+ http://www.webupd8.org/2013/05/how-to-install-emerald-in-ubuntu-1304.html
Fetching the source and compiling works, when done this way:
git clone git://anongit.compiz.org/fusion/decorators/emerald
cd emerald
git checkout -b compiz++ origin/compiz++
./autogen.sh
export "LIBS=-ldl -lm" && ./configure
make
Please package this great window decorator for Precise, Quantal and
future versions of Ubuntu.
