Dashboard

Dashboard install howto

Maybe you just finished installing [BeagleInstallHowto|beagle] and decided to give [http://www.nat.org/dashboard Nat's dasbord] a try.

This short tutorial assumes you have already successfully installed beagle along with the inotify patched kernel.

Our fun takes place command-line: *Applications* > *System Tools* > *Terminal*.

We need to apt-get a couple of items first.

    bash:~$ sudo apt-get install at-spi libatspi-dev

Next we copy the beagle .pc to ease things along.

    bash:~$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig

    OR

    bash:~$ sudo cp /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/beagle-0.0.pc /usr/lib/pkgconfig

Move to your cvs directory.

    bash:~$ cd ~/cvs

We will be using the GNOME cvs. It will ask for a password, just hit enter.

    bash:~$ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome login

Time to grab dashboard source.

    bash:~$ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome co dashboard

Change into the dashboard directory now.

    bash:~$ cd dashboard

Watch for the password request as it finishes.

    bash:~$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr && make && sudo make install

Please feel free to add to or make changes. Hope this is helpful to someone. More information on Beagle and Dashboard is found on their wiki.
