Introduction

wmlj is a WindowMaker dock-app that sits in the corner of your screen and monitors your Friends List at livejournal.com. Now that LJ addiction spreads its slimy tentacles all over the world, such a program becomes absolutely essential for every Unix desktop.

Requirements

wmlj requires GTK+ 1.2 or greater
(http://www.gtk.org/)

wmlj also requires libcurl, an multiprotocol transfer library (http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/)

Getting Started

In order to use wmlj, you need a valid LiveJournal account, which you can create at http://livejournal.com/

The installation os fairly obvious.
Running:

        $ ./configure 
        $ make
        $ su
        # make install

should be all you need to install it.

The installed executable is called "wmlj".

Using wmlj

Refer to the man page - wmlj(1).

Known Bugs

Thanks

Brad Fitzpatrick <bradfitz@livejournal.com> - for making LiveJournal!

Evan Martin <evan@livejournal.com> - for writing LogJam (http://logjam.danga.com), a great GTK+ LJ client, which provided me with insipration and also gave me some insights into the inner workings of GTK+. Some wmlj code is based on LogJam.

Alexey Vyskubov <alexey@pepper.spb.ru> - for writing foodock library (http://freshmeat.net/projects/foodock/), which spared me the hassle of figuring out how to write a dockapp.
