gkrellm_timers: GKrellM Timer/Stopwatch Plugin Author: Christian W. Zuckschwerdt <zany@triq.net> Homepage: http://triq.net/gkrellm/ A plugin for GKrellM, that let's you define timers and stopwatches. Prerequisites: =============== You do have a recent GKrellM-2, don't you? You also need the header (include) files for building. This release aims at GTK-2.0 users. Please uses the 1.1 release for prior GTK versions or the 1.0 release for prior GKrellM versions. Compiling: =========== * For linux: just run the normal 'make'. * For freebsd: run 'make freebsd'. Installing: =========== Running 'make install-user' will place the plugin in your current home directory under ~/.gkrellm/plugins. Running 'make install' as superuser will place the plugin under /usr/share/gkrellm/plugins. You can also manually place the resulting gkrellm_timers.so under ~/.gkrellm/plugins. After restarting gkrellm, you should be able to enable it in the gkrellm plugins configuration menu. Troubleshooting: ================ If you have trouble compiling the plugin. Make sure you have gtk 2.0 and gkrellm >= 2.0.x and you've installed the gkrellm header files in /usr/include/gkrellm or /usr/local/include/gkrellm. If you have placed the header files in some other dir, edit GKRELLM_INCLUDE in the Makefile Bugs: ===== You can suspend your computer and the timers will continue, when you shut gkrellm down all timers will be reset though. This is not a bug and gkrellms problem not the plugins. I do consider this version stable. please mail any problems/bugs to me...
