Take a look at Giver and Telekinesis! I already wanted to impement something similar to this, but it seems somebody else was first. I don’t mind, I’m just looking forward to see the projects rock (maybe cross-platform on Windows, MacOS, Linux and perhaps also with an additional command-line frontend available?)
I tried to compile giver today on my ubuntu feisty box, but it complained about notify-sharp missing. Searched for it in the ubuntu repositories, but it didn’t seem to be in there already. I found the website here, hope it is the correct one. Installed mercurial and downloaded notify-sharp from the mercurial branch as described on the website. It did not contain a configure file, but instead configure.ac and Makefile.am. It’s been a long time since I played around with autotools, but I simply tried autoconf and automake, but none of them produced a usable configure file. If anybody knows how to get this running, please leave me a comment.

Uh, how bout just make by itself from within the directory? Should build by default with the supplied makefile.

ummm, which makefile exactly did you mean?

You have to run autoreconf or something like that to generate the config/make files for notify-sharp. Pop into #giver on GIMPNet and I’m sure somebody can help out.
Calvin said he’s installing Ubuntu so that he can make test it on other distros (I run it on Ubuntu Feisty with no problems).

‘I run it on Ubuntu Feisty with no problems’
So, why don’t you post the binary?
21. November 2007 at 04:18 |
@manos: You would still need binaries for the various dependencies that need to be built from source. I’m not in the packaging business, so I can’t help with that. Fortunately you have some other resources to help you.
1. IRC, as previously mentioned.
2. A helpful wiki page (geared toward opensuse, but much applies to Ubuntu):
http://code.google.com/p/giver/wiki/GiverOnOpensuseTenDotTwo
3. A mailing list:

I haven’t messed with Giver in months, so I’m afraid I don’t have any specific build/install advice for you.

There are a couple of us that are getting together to rebuild this and banter. We are hoping to make it completely cross platform. So if you are still interested in helping build something up around this drop me a line.
