I've created a patch to make the official release of compiz-0.3.6 work 
on Solaris. The patch can be found here 
http://www.gnome.org/~erwannc/compiz/compiz-solaris-for-0.3.6.diff.
I've put an updated version of your spec file 
http://www.gnome.org/~erwannc/compiz/SFEcompiz.spec

Same for me, that's the reason why I've uploaded it on gnome.org :)

I've noticed that for the Source URL : the ~ got changed in %7E  and 
wget failed because of that.

Why are you using gcc instead of the default compiler ? I've generated 
the package with SunStudio without problem. so I removed  the export 
CC="/usr/sfw/bin/gcc" line.

For convenience I've also uploaded it here : 
http://www.gnome.org/~erwannc/compiz/SFEcompiz-settings.spec

Nod, I think we need to wait for the Xorg client libs to be available on 
Solaris to add them in the repository.

    Thanks again,

             Erwann
