Conky Description
A light-weight system monitor. Conky is a light-weight system monitor software.Conky is a system monitor for X originally based on the torsmo code. Since it's original conception, Conky has changed a fair bit from it's predecessor.Conky can display just about anything, either on your root desktop or in it's own window. Conky has many built-in objects, as well as the ability to execute programs and scripts, then display the output from stdout.We are always looking for help, and anyone interested in becoming a developer is welcome. Please use the facilities at SourceForge to make bug reports, feature requests, and submit patches.Installation:For users compiling from source, make sure you have the X development libraries installed. This should be a package along the lines of "libx11-dev or xorg-x11-dev".Gentoo users -- Conky is in Gentoo's Portage... simply use "emerge app- admin/conky" for installation. There is also usually an up-to-date ebuild within Conky's package or in CVS.Debian,etc. users -- Conky will be in Debian's repositories soon (by mid-September, hopefully), and then Ubuntu shortly thereafter. Until then, "dpkg -i" the .deb package to install.Example to compile and run Conky with all optional components (note that some configure options may differ for your system): sh autogen.sh # Only required if building from CVS ./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --enable-xft --enable-seti --enable-dou- ble-buffer --enable-own-window --enable-proc-uptime --enable-mpd --enable-mldonkey --enable-x11 --enable-portmon make make install # Optional src/conkyConky probably doesn't compile with compilers other than gcc and icc. It doesn't compile with C89 compiler and not even with pure C99. It uses a few things that might not exist: strdup(), strcasecmp(), strn-casecmp(), optarg variable with getopt() and long long (not in C89). Crashes in file system statistics stuff when compiled with icc, I don't know exactly why.You can disable 'drawing to own window' feature in case you don't need it by passing --disable-own-window to configure -script. What's New in This Release: · Fix crash when using $if_match with objects that may return a null pointer (like $rss, $weather, or $curl before data is available)
