  • New applet for Pandora!

    Posted by steve-o on September 20, 2006 at 20:35

    Hi,

    We have added to the Subversion repository at Sourceforge a new application to monitor Pandora. This little program stands in the systray (notification area) in GNOME and KDE desktops and makes some queries to the database to check the Pandora network status. At this moment, it checks:

    * Alerts which have been fired.
    * Agents down.
    * Servers down.

    It’s just a proof of concept, so any ideas, opinion or critics will be thanked. To compile it, check out from the Subversion repository (“svn update” in trunk directory is enough if you have checked it out previously) and follow these steps:

    – Execute “autogen.sh” script in “pandora_applet” directory.
    – Install any dependencies needed that may advice.
    – Compile executing “make”.
    – Install it with “make install” as root.
    – Run the program as “pandora-applet”. An icon may appear in the systray.
    – Configure the program (Right click on the icon -> Preferences).

    I guess that in Debian/Ubuntu the dependences packets needed to compile are:
    * libglib2.0-dev
    * libxml2.0-dev
    * libgtk2.0-dev
    * libmysqlclient15-dev
    * maybe any other, I don’t know (please report!)

    NOTICE: There could be any failure in the applet because it’s just a test version. Please notify any error or problem with it.

    Greetings!

    I’m gonna write one for WindowMaker users, cause we feel discriminated against KDE or Gnome ones :_(

    Beside that, that plugin works fine for me, great job 🙂
