--The precompiled binary was compiled on Suse linux 8.0 using--
Glibc 2.2.5
Gtk 1.2.10
X11 libraries from XFree86 4.2.0
--Required Libraries and Software--
GTK >= 1.2.x
gcc
--Installation--
If the precompiled SUSE binary does not work on your system, or
if you want to change the program, you'll have to build the source
code.
Run, configure and make.
Make install will install the lsalarm binary to your system but the default sounds will not play!! To get around this, make sure that no matter where the lsalarm executable is located, it always in the same directory as the default lsalarm.wav. This can easily be done with shell scripts. Note that if the lsalarm.wav file is not with the executable, you can still choose a sound file in the options every time you start lsalarm.
--Usage--
Run the command "lsalarm" from any windowmanager or terminal under X. Enter
in the string you want for your alarm message and also enter in the exact hour
and minute when you want the message to appear. If hour value is -1, it
is replaced with the current hour. Click "commence", and lsalarm will TSR and
wait until the time that you requested, and pop up with the desired message.
You can also configure lsalarm to run a command and print the output on alarm time or to play a sound.
--Known Issues--
*If you want to play a sound, you have to supply the FULL path of the wave file you want to play, the best way to do this is just to use the browse button to find the file.
*To get the default lsalarm sound to work without having to click the browse button and look for it, instead of installing the binary to your /usr/local/bin, install a shell script that executes lsalarm from the directory that contains the "lsalarm.wav" file.
====Windows users====
This windows version of this program will not run without the necessary gtk dlls.
These dlls are available at my web site on the lsalarm page.
