Gentoo users -- Conky is in Gentoo’s Portage... simply use "emerge app-
admin/conky" for installation. There is also usually an up-to-date
- ebuild within Conky’s package or in SVN.
+ ebuild within Conky’s package or in the git repo.
Debian, etc. users -- Conky should be in your repositories, and can be
installed by doing "aptitude install conky".
Example to compile and run Conky with all optional components (note
that some configure options may differ for your system):
- 1msh autogen.sh # Only required if building from SVN0m
+ 1msh autogen.sh # Only required if building from the git repo0m
1m./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --in‐0m
1mfodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --local‐0m

+QUICK & EASY:
+ $ sh autogen.sh
+ $ ./configure
+ $ make
+ $ ./src/conky # to run Conky
+ # make install
+
+First, read the README. This contains instructions specific to building conky
+fresh from the git repo:
+
+* Conky requires three "auto-tools", with at least the specific version numbers.
+ Make sure these are installed:
+
+ aclocal-1.9
+ automake-1.9
+ autoconf-2.59
+
+* In the directory where you cloned conky from git,
+ run "aclocal", "automake", and then "autoconf".
+ Make sure you run those commands with the latest versions...
+ it is very possible that older versions are installed, and
+ plain "automake" really means automake-1.4, not what we want,
+ but "automake-1.9" instead.
+ Use the "--version" option to check the program version, i.e.
+ "autoconf --version".
+
+ You can also try using the autogen.sh script, like so:
+
+ $ sh autogen.sh
+
+* After that, it's the familiar
+
+ $ ./configure
+ $ make
+ # make install
+
+ You might have to do the last step as root.
