Thanks to TUAW, The Unofficial Apple Weblog for the recent link to my blog for information relating to LCDproc.

LCDproc compile update

Since upgrading to Xcode 2.4.1, I have noticed some problems compiling LCDproc. However, they are not difficult to overcome.

cd into the folder of the latest LCDproc source. and run the following commands:

1. ./configure
2. make
   At some point this will return an error about nested functions.
3. make CFLAGS=-fnested-functions
   This will finish compiling past the previous error.

If you just run make CFLAGS=-fnested-functions, without running a standard make first, you will get an error trying to dynamically link bayrad.so. Hopefully there will be a fix for this soon.

In other news, LCDproc included some new source I wrote to get the top processes and the internet interface statistics. This means that all of the lcdproc client features are now supported in Mac OS X!

Update!

There are no longer any nested functions in LCDproc. As a result, you can now just run:

1. ./configure
2. make

to compile LCDproc.
