You'll need a fully updated Natty system, with the latest ''compiz'' and ''bamfdaemon'' packages installed.

You'll then need to do do this:

{{{
sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libcairo2-dev libpng12-dev libglew1.5-dev libglewmx1.5-dev libxxf86vm-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libsigc++-2.0-dev libpango1.0-dev doxygen cmake build-essential debhelper pkg-config valac intltool libgee-dev libunique-dev libclutter-1.0-dev libclutter-gtk-0.10-dev libclutk-dev libbamf-dev gsettings-desktop-schemas-dev libgconf2-dev libglib2.0-dev libdbusmenu-glib-dev libgnome-desktop-dev libgtk2.0-dev libpango1.0-dev libgnomeui-dev libdee-dev libindicator-dev libunity-misc-dev libutouch-grail-dev libxcb-icccm1-dev compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-dev libboost-dev libboost-serialization-dev libmetacity-dev python-dev cython gnome-common libpcre3-dev }}}

to get all the dependencies.

You will probably need to grab the latest version of Nux to get Unity trunk going:

{{{
bzr branch lp:nux
cd nux
./autogen.sh --disable-documentation --prefix=/opt/unity
make
sudo make install
}}}

 (!) ''Tip: Most modern desktops and laptops have several cores. You can greatly speed up the compilation by taking advantage of this. The {{{make}}} command have build in support for this which you can activate using the {{{-jN}}} switch where {{{N}}} is the number of jobs to run in parallel. A good rule of thumb is to run 2 times the number of cores on your processor. Thus on a normal dual core computer you should run {{{make -j4}}} to minimize the compilation time.''

exporting paths:

{{{
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/unity/lib/pkgconfig:${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/unity/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
export LD_RUN_PATH=/opt/unity/lib:${LD_RUN_PATH}
}}}

and then Unity:

{{{
bzr branch lp:unity
cd unity
mkdir build; cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCOMPIZ_PLUGIN_INSTALL_TYPE=package -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/unity
make
sudo make install
}}}

unsetting paths:

{{{
unset PKG_CONFIG_PATH
unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
unset LD_RUN_PATH
}}}

add this to your /home/$USER/.bashrc

{{{
function compiz-unity-setup-env
{
    export PATH=/opt/unity/bin:${PATH}
    export PYTHONPATH=/opt/unity/lib/python2.7/site-packages
}
}}}

and finally, once that's installed, you can log out and log in and again and then run compiz-unity-setup-env and then restart Compiz (compiz --replace) and then use CompizConfig Settings Manager (ccsm) to search for and enable the Unity plugin!		 #REDIRECT http://askubuntu.com/questions/28470/how-do-i-build-unity-from-source/28472#28472
