Latest conky with images support enabled in Fedora

This entry is part of a series, conky»

This has always been a question to have a quality conky installation on your desktop supporting images and other goodies.

To get it, you have to create your own rpm from the latest source.

Disclaimer
BE CAREFUL IF USING VIDEO DRIVERS OTHER THAN NVIDIA! DO NOT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW!

Install dependencies:

sudo yum -y install bmpx-devel libXft-devel libXt-devel libXdamage-devel libXext-devel audacious-devel dbus-glib-devel libXNVCtrl-devel curl-devel wireless-tools-devel tolua++-devel

bmpx will not work, however …

Get conky from the home web site. Get my spec file and place to ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/conky.spec

conky.spec

I do not guarantee that the below and the above will work for you. You should watch the console output of everything you type in.

Build and install the rpm:

sudo rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/conky.spec
sudo yum -y localinstall --nogpgcheck ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/conky-1.7.2-1.fc11_alec.x86_64.rpm

Some nice urls related to conky functions:

As a result, I get something like the below (still under construction but rss, weather and images support is already there):

More configs, scripts and tricks to follow. Beware, conky is very addictive… I will open registration in my blog so that people can post comments and/or ask questions, everybody is welcome.
