Mel_Flynn said:Nope, because:
Conky is an advanced, highly configurable system monitor for X
So I take it, it's not useable without X.
But how to do it?Daisuke_Aramaki said:Yes you can. You simply have to pass parameters to build it without X support.

# ./configure --without-x
...
checking for X... disabled
configure: error: Can't locate your X11 installation
Mel_Flynn said:You've actually done this, or just making an 'educated' guess?
Code:# ./configure --without-x ... checking for X... disabled configure: error: Can't locate your X11 installation
./configure --disable-x11 --disable-xdamage --disable- own-window --disable-xft

to give you an example. not just x11, as you can see you can also disable xft support! I use conky without X support when i use status bars like dzen together with tiling managers lik dwm or xmonad.
rota said:Well FreeBSD also makes this really simple. If you want Conky display information in awesome, dwm, or other tiling window manager you can use conky-awesome which has no X support by default, just look at the makefile. Hmm, I helped myself with this one. :e
