./configure 安装 conky 时出错

Question

I've downloaded conky from GitHub and when I try to use the ./configure command, I get this following error :

   bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

I opened my terminal in the Src folder and tried this command. What am I missing?

This is the screenshot of the terminal and the downloaded conky folder

I see CMakeLists.txt and doubled checked, per the documentation use cmake

1.10 and later versions

Conky 2 will use cmake instead of autotools which means you won't need autoconf and automake anymore but you'll need cmake.

autoconf and automake (and autogen) are what generally drive "configure".

You will need the tolua library (Ref.), which can be installed for Linux with apt-get install libtolua-dev libtolua++5.1-dev . You also need the following development packages if you keep the default cmake configuration: apt-get install libx11-dev libxft-dev libxdamage-dev libncurses5-dev libxinerama-dev .

Then, building conky will work like this:

 $ mkdir build $ cd build $ ccmake .. # this will launch a curses-based UI where you can configure # everything, when you are ready you can build as usual: $ make # This will compile conky in the `src` subdirectory $ make install
