MX Conky

Building with CMake

Prerequisites

• Qt6 development libraries (qt6-base-dev, qt6-tools-dev)
• CMake 3.16 or later
• C++20 compatible compiler (GCC or Clang)

Build Instructions

Standard build:

cmake -B build -S . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build

Build with Clang:

cmake -B build -S . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DUSE_CLANG=ON
cmake --build build

Clean build directory:

rm -rf build

Debian Package Building

Prerequisites for Debian packaging:

sudo apt install build-essential debhelper-compat cmake qt6-base-dev qt6-base-dev-tools qt6-tools-dev qt6-tools-dev-tools

Build debian package:

# Build unsigned package for testing
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc

# Build signed package for distribution
dpkg-buildpackage

# Build source package only
dpkg-buildpackage -S

# Clean build artifacts
fakeroot debian/rules clean

Install built package:

# Install the generated .deb file
sudo dpkg -i ../mx-conky_*.deb

# Install dependencies if needed
sudo apt install -f

Arch Packaging Note

The Arch package uses an .install script to create a small wrapper at /usr/share/mx-conky-data/conky-startup.sh only if it does not already exist. This avoids a hard dependency on mx-conky-data and prevents file conflicts if mx-conky-data is installed later.
