Debian package installation:
|
|
============================
|
|
GKrellM is in the Debian archives, you can install using apt-get:
|
|
|
|
apt-get update
|
|
apt-get install gkrellm
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RedHat package installation:
|
|
============================
|
|
Fresh install:
|
|
rpm -i gkrellm-X.Y.Z-1.i386.rpm
|
|
or, upgrade
|
|
rpm -U gkrellm-X.Y.Z-1.i386.rpm
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation from source:
|
|
=========================
|
|
First untar the tarball:
|
|
------------------------
|
|
tar -xvjf gkrellm-X.Y.Z.tar.bz2
|
|
cd gkrellm-X.Y.Z
|
|
|
|
Next compile and install GKrellM for your target system.
|
|
BSD systems need to use gmake (GNU make) instead of the BSD make.
|
|
See below for custom gkrellmd server installs and for installs
|
|
into specific directories.
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------

FreeBSD 2.x
|
|
-----------
|
|

|
|
|
|

NetBSD 2.X, 3.X and later
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
make netbsd2
|

|
|
OpenBSD
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
make openbsd
|
|
make install_openbsd
|
|
|
|
Note: install_openbsd makes gkrellm setgid kmem so it can be run non-root, ie:
|
|
chgrp kmem /usr/local/bin/gkrellm
|
|
chmod g+sx /usr/local/bin/gkrellm
|
|
|
|
|
|
Solaris 2.x (8 tested so far)
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
make solaris
|
|
make install_solaris
|
|
|
|
Note: install_solaris makes gkrellm setgid sys so it can be run non-root, ie:
|
|
chgrp sys /usr/local/bin/gkrellm
|
|
chmod g+s /usr/local/bin/gkrellm
|
|
(see below for additional Solaris install notes)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Windows 2000/XP (Vista is untested)
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
make windows
|
|
make INSTALLROOT=C:\gkrellm install_windows
|
|
|
|
Needed software for building gkrellm on win32 systems:
|
|
- MinGW
|
|
- MSYS (gkrellm Makefiles are NOT compatible with cmd.exe)
|
|
- GTK >= 2.4 Development files (see http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html)
|
|
- OpenSSL (optional), GnuTLS is not recommended on win32
|
|
- libntlm (optional)
|
|
|
|
Note: Installing gkrellm on windows needs INSTALLROOT set, the default path
|
|
(/usr/local) probably won't work
|
|
|
|
|
|
BSD make Problems
|
|
-----------------
|
|
On BSD systems, errors like:
|
|
"Makefile", line 21: Missing dependency operator
|
|
result from using BSD make. You need to use gmake.
|
|
|
|
If you get the error:
|
|
ld: invalid command option `-E'
|
|
re-run the make without any link flags, eg:
|
|
gmake openbsd LINK_FLAGS=
|
|
|
|
|
|
==========================================================================
|
|
Customizing the install directory locations
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
The default install is under the INSTALLROOT /usr/local, and this is the
|
|
default directory install tree:
|
|
|
|
/usr/local INSTALLROOT
|
|
/bin/ both gkrellm and gkrellmd
|
|
/include/gkrellm2/ development include files
|
|
/share/locale/XX/ LC_MESSAGES/gkrellm.mo (XX is cs, de, ...)
|
|
/man/man1/ gkrellm.1 and gkrellmd.1
|
|
/lib/pkgconfig/ gkrellm.pc
|
|
|
|
The INSTALLROOT and/or individual install directory locations may be changed.
|
|
For example, use INSTALLROOT to install everything under /usr:
|
|
|
|
make install INSTALLROOT=/usr
|
|
|
|
For package maintainers convenience, INSTALLROOT may be constructed from
|
|
DESTDIR and PREFIX. So if INSTALLROOT is not specified, you can then
|
|
set either or both of DESTDIR and PREFIX to construct your effective
|
|
INSTALLROOT. For example, a /foo/usr INSTALLROOT would result from:
|
|
|
|
make install DESTDIR=/foo PREFIX=/usr
|
|
|
|
For finer grained control of individual install directories, use INSTALLDIR
|
|
(for gkrellm), INCLUDEDIR, MANDIR (for gkrellm.1), LOCALEDIR, SINSTALLDIR
|
|
(for gkrellmd), and SMANDIR (for gkrellmd.1). When a DIR variable is given,
|
|
INSTALLROOT is ignored for that directory and the complete directory path
|
|
must be given.
|
|
|
|
For example, this command installs under /usr for all except the gkrellmd
|
|
server which is put in /opt/sbin:
|
|
|
|
make install INSTALLROOT=/usr SINSTALLDIR=/opt/sbin
|
|
|
|
The install of i18n translation files is additionally sensitive to the
|
|
environment variable LOCALEDIR if it set. A command line LOCALEDIR takes
|
|
precedence over an environment variable LOCALEDIR. See the po/README file
|
|
for examples. Also, the install of translation files may be omitted with:
|
|
|
|
make install enable_nls=0
|
|
|
|
|
|
==========================================================================
|
|
Custom gkrellmd server installs:
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
1) The default top level make will compile a gkrellmd server using glib2.
|
|
However, a gkrellmd server using glib-1.2 can be compiled for systems
|
|
without the glib2 version with:
|
|
|
|
make glib12=1
|
|
|
|
2) If the target server has glib installed but no gtk or Xlibs, then gkrellmd
|
|
may be built on the target server by working in the gkrellmd server
|
|
directory:
|
|
|
|
cd gkrellm-2.x.y/server
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
or
|
|
make glib12=1
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
If not on Linux, remember to specify a make target as for a top level
|
|
make. That is, use "make freebsd", etc and "make install_freebsd", etc.
|
|
This installs gkrellmd into /usr/local/bin and gkrellmd.1 into
|
|
/usr/local/share/man/man1, but if you want to install somewhere else,
|
|
do for example:
|
|
|
|
make SMANDIR=/usr/share/man/man1 SINSTALLDIR=/usr/bin install
|
|
or
|
|
make INSTALLROOT=/usr install
|
|
|
|
|
|
==========================================================================
|
|
Other make flags:
|
|
-----------------
|
|
To compile a binary with debugging symbols (-g compiler option):
|
|
|
|
make debug=1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
============================================================================
|
|
Making a RPM package from the source tarball:
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Copy the gkrellm.spec file from inside the tarball to:
|
|
|
|
/usr/src/RPM_DIR/SPECS
|
|
|
|
where you should substitute for "RPM_DIR" something like "redhat", "RPMS", or
|
|
whatever is appropriate for your distribution.
|
|
Make this "RPM_DIR" substitution in the steps below.
|
|
Also, it's possible some distributions will require an edit of the
|
|
gkrellm.spec "Requires" line. For example, on Mandrake you may have
|
|
to change it to:
|
|
Requires: gtk+2.0 >= 2.0, glib2 >= 2.0
|
|
|
|
If your rpm can't handle tar.bz2 files, you need to convert the source tarball
|
|
gkrellm-X.Y.Z.tar.bz2 into a gkrellm-X.Y.Z.tar.gz with an untar and tar.
|
|
|
|
Copy the gkrellm source tarball to:
|
|
|
|
/usr/src/RPM_DIR/SOURCES
|
|
|
|
Then make the RPMs:
|
|
|
|
cd /usr/src/RPM_DIR/SPECS
|
|
rpm -ba --clean gkrellm.spec
|
|
|
|
Then you should have for a GKrellM version X.Y.Z the RPM packages:
|
|
|
|
/usr/src/RPM_DIR/RPMS/$ARCH/gkrellm-X.Y.Z-1.rpm
|
|
/usr/src/RPM_DIR/SRPMS/gkrellm-X.Y.Z-1.src.rpm
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Solaris install notes:
|
|
----------------------
|
|
Tested to be built as 32bit application with gcc on UltraSPARC only.
|
|
It should work on both 32bit and 64bit kernel. The Solaris port currently
|
|
utilizes kvm to get a value for proc.n_forks. It imposes a few restrictions:
|
|
|
|
1) gkrellm for Solaris should be setgid sys as mentioned above.
|
|
|
|
2) On Solaris, 32bit binary of gkrellm cannot run on 64bit kernel while
|
|
maintaining its full functionality and vice versa.
|
|
|
|
a) It cannot acquire "number of forks" on a different data model of
|
|
the kernel image from its own origin (i.e. binary incompatibility
|
|
between 32bit and 64bit). This is caused by restriction of kvm just
|
|
as mentioned above. For more details, refer to kvm_open(3kvm).
|
|
b) Since a single driver called 'sd' takes control over both hard drives
|
|
and cdroms, "Disks" monitor includes not just i/o activity of hard
|
|
drives but of CDROM or CD-RW's. I don't like this, so a function
|
|
called isharddisk() is implemented in order to exclude i/o activity
|
|
of removable media. If you don't use "composite disk" for monitoring
|
|
and pick drives of your interest, this wouldn't bother you anyway.
|
|
|
|
Failure of these functions is silently ignored and it proceeds without
|
|
the failed functionalities. Separate executable should be built for each
|
|
data models (32bit and 64bit kernel) to enjoy full functionality
|
|
including ones described above.
|
|
|
|
Functionalities not supported currently are: Battery, CPU/Motherboard
|
|
sensor, Net Timer (PPP) and swap in/out chart.

libgtop install notes:
|
|
----------------------
|
|
If you have libgtop (plus development libs) installed, you can make
|
|
a version that uses libgtop to read system data. A libgtop version
|
|
will not have a disk, internet, or battery monitor because libgtop does not
|
|
report these stats.
|
|
|
|
--If you have gnome (plus libgnome-dev) and either libgtop 1.1.x or 1.0.x:
|
|
make gnome-gtop
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
--If you have libgtop 1.1.x:
|
|
make gtop
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
--If you have libgtop 1.0.x edit the top level Makefile to uncomment GTOP lines
|
|
make gtop1.0
|
|
make install
|
