Description:

Wmfire displays a burning fire depending on the load of the CPU(s), network, or memory. On entering the dock a burning spot replaces the cursor, and after two seconds symbols to represent the current monitor are "burnt" onscreen. The flame colour can also be changed.

glibtop problem

You need to download and compile glib.
ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.4/

glib is a bunch of support librarys for GTK 2

wmfire 0.0.38 requires nothing.
wmfire 1.0.0 requires gtk1 & libgtop1.
wmfire 1.2.X requires gtk2 & libgtop2.

Although wmfire >1.0.0 requires gtk it only uses the gdk library (same as wmfishtime).

Note that the original 0.0.38 version was by Zinx Verituse and not me.

How to compile on OpenBSD 3.5?
posted by Tobias (anonymous) - 2004-08-01 15:27:29

Hi,

I have glib2 installed and it seems to be under:

/usr/local/include/glib-2.0/glib

When I run ./configure and make the library isn't found. Where and how can I adjust this?

Otherwise great work, I use wmfire on my other Linux machine!

thanks,
Tobias

The build uses pkg-config to determine the location of the libraries and headers. The glib library is determined from the gtk configuration (but gtk is stripped to leave gdk only...ish).

Check what the following commands return;

$ pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0
$ pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0

They should contain "-lglib-2.0" and "-I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0" respectively for your installation.

Numerical load readout?
posted by Nick (anonymous) - 2004-09-21 20:03:37

I love wmfire! Very nice work.

I noticed in one of the screenshots that there is a numerical readout of the cpu load (100%) showing in the upper right corner. I haven't found a way to do this myself, and wmfire -h doesn't help. What am I missing?

The numbers are only for the original version (0.0.3.8) only I'm afraid. It would be easy to do, but I was optimising for speed.

I can't take credit for the actual flame effect, that goes way back in time to the wmflame dock app.
