[solved] conky is huge, where's torsmo?

(1/4) > >>

tobiaus:
i know "conky is the new torsmo," but torsmo was very small and didn't need xorg.

i prefer conky, but for a 10mb distro, downloading what seemed to be just as large for a tiny root window app seems just slightly perverse.

just barely related: it looks like dsl 3.x (on the same machine) could run torsmo with doublebuffer (less blinky) and 4.x could not. just a note if anyone makes an extension.

i'm not above copying torsmo from dsl if it's not too many / any libs, although it's better probably to compile for 2.6 if you're running in 2.6.

^thehatsrule^:
This looks like it was built againt an older version of xorg-dev.  You can ask for a rebuild (probably juanito) which should remove that dependency.

I used conky as it can display wireless stats without the need to call a separate script and I thought (perhaps wrongly) that torsmo couldn't do double buffering

the tce is 96kb, let me look at how the tcz was built...

it would be better to recompile torsmo on tc

Juanito:
OK, so - if I boot tc-rc05 without Xorg-7.4.tcel and with only glib2.tcel loaded, conky.tcel works:
--- Code: ---$ conky -b &
conky: can't allocate X color 'grey' [doesn't like gray either]
conky: can't allocate X color '#ddd'
conky: failed to set up double-buffer
--- End code ---
i.e. despite me saying that Xorg-7.4, expat2, libxml2 and glib2 were required, things appear to work with only glib2.

I built conky.tczl with cramfs and the filesize is 110592 bytes, so I will post.
