Google Gadgets on Hardy
These are the steps I followed. I got all this information off the project pages here.
I decided to check out the latest code using subversion. You could conversly just download the lattest package and use that.
cd ~/programs/google
svn checkout http://google-gadgets-for-linux.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ google-gadgets-for-linux-read-only
sudo apt-get install automake libtool autoconf libmozjs-dev libltdl3-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev libcurl3-openssl-dev libdbus-1-dev libxul-dev libcurl3 libcurl3-dbg libcurl3-gnutls libcurl4-openssl-dev libcurl-ocaml libmozjs0d libmozjs0d-dbg libmozjs-dev g++-4.2-multilib libcairo2-dev libgtk2.0-dev
cd google-gadgets-for-linux-read-only/
sh autotools/bootstrap.sh
cp /usr/share/automake-1.10/mkinstalldirs ./libltdl/
mkdir -p build/debug
cd build/debug
../../configure --enable-debug
sudo make
sudo make install
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
ggl-gtk
Blamo, you should be up and running. You may want to add the path to your .profile or .bashrc
