Gnome Stock Ticker (gtik) Release Notes
Gnome Stock Ticker is a Scrolling Stock ticker Applet for the Gnome Panel.
This uses the GHTTP lib to request a page from Yahooo finance for the stock
symbols you enter into the properties dialog. It saves the file to your
$HOME dir and then parses the HTML to get the data it will scroll. The
Function that actuall grabs the page was copied out of the old Slash Applet.
The rest is written by me.
The update frequency and symbols to display data for are configurable
via a handy properties dialog.
The GHTTP libraries are required to run this.
Please send any bugs, patches, or comments to gtik@dread.net
To install, do the following:
$ ./configure
$ make
$ su
# make install
RedHat 6.2 and many other users, read on.
You can optionally pass arguments to configure. Try "./configure --help" to see what is available. Most users will probably want to the following in place of configure:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
