Okay since i havent been using my laptop that much lately its become my little testing ground for new cool stuff. Although AWN doesnt qualify for new stuff for me, i decided to give it a whirl to see how far its come since i last visited it.
\nI figure i will be using it when i feel its stable enough as it provides me with my much needed eye candy desktop, and also is … well okay it just looks great ! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
Anyhow lets get started on how to install and compile this little goodie from source.<\/p>\n
Step one is of course to find instructions on the website: https:\/\/launchpad.net\/awn<\/a><\/p>\n Before we try and follow the nice directions, i did a little digging (and some error investigating) to find a big list of dependencies that should be installed first. So lets first prep the system and make sure we actually can compile awn.<\/p>\n Satisfying dependencies<\/p>\n Open a terminal and type the following code<\/p>\n sudo apt-get install build-essential automake1.9 autotools-dev libxdamage-dev libxcomposite-dev libgnome2-common libgnome2-dev libgnome- This should make sure all your dependencies are ready for the following steps.<\/p>\n 2. Now we can checkout and build the application<\/p>\n bzr co http:\/\/ This checkout the files needed. Then we build them<\/p>\n cd avant-window-navigator After the compile process is finished you can start the AWN by typing ‘avant-window-navigator’ in either your console, or in the run dialog (alt+F2). The 3d setting should also be available.<\/p>\n Thats about it for now.
