Hey, thanks for reading this first! :) *** NOTICE **************************************************** This is a development version of LCDproc, straight from the CVS repository. THIS VERSION OF LCDproc IS *NOT* GUARANTEED TO RUN, OR EVEN COMPILE! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED! *************************************************************** With that out of the way, welcome to the bleeding edge of LCDproc. To build and run this version, you'll need autoconf 2.50 or higher and friends installed. Run: $ sh ./autogen.sh This produces the configure script and supporting files, and also runs configure with defaults. You want to run configure again with your own options, trust me :) I suspect the default drivers it sets aren't going to match your setup. Once the above two commands have run, the rest is pretty standard: $ ./configure --help [read about the options, figure out what to use] $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-drivers=ncurses,cfontz [replace ncurses,cfontz with comma-separated list of drivers you want] $ make $ su $ make install [make install is OPTIONAL ... might not want to replace a stable version of LCDproc with a development release] Patches and suggestions are welcome!
