- COMPILING
. Archives containing intel x86 binaries are available on the website, so you may not need to compile at all if you have an intel machine. In this case unpack the archive and skip down to "INSTALLATION" below.
. You'll need to have (at least) the following libraries installed:
gtk
gdk
gnome
gnomesupport
gnomeui
art_lgpl
gnorba
panel_applet
If you've compiled any gnome apps before, you probably already have most of them. The one which you may not have is the panel_applet library.
. Make the applet:
cd gsysinfo-2.0/
make mode:=release
OR
make mode:=debug
--
- INSTALLATION
. Edit the paths (prefix) at the top
of the makefile if necessary
(it's set up to work on my debian system, I don't
know where things belong on other dists)
. Install the applet:
(you may need to be root to do this)
make install
--
USING THE PROGRAM:
. Start up the applet:
Choose Add Applet->Monitors->GSysInfo in your GNOME panel.
. Use the applet's properties to choose which gauges you want to see.
. Use the About Box if you need help interpreting what the gauges mean
