Libgweather is a GNOME desktop weather library that provides accurate weather information. It offers a simple and flexible API for developers to incorporate weather-related features in their applications.
Libgweather is a powerful weather library designed specifically for the GNOME desktop. With its ability to provide access to weather information from the internet, it is no wonder that it is frequently utilized by programs such as the weather report applet. As an integral part of the gnome-applets package, the library has been released in conjunction with version 2.21.3.
With numerous enhancements made since the previous release of gnome-applets, users can look forward to several key improvements with Libgweather. These improvements include access to Locations.xml via a pkg-config variable, the ability to translate units, new functions encompassing parsing of temperatures and wind speeds, and key fixes for Locations.xml.
When it comes to installation, users will find the process quite manageable. The general recommendation is to navigate to the directory containing the package's source code and type `./configure' to configure the package for your system. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for. Once configured, users can proceed by typing `make' to compile the package.
By following these steps, users can then optionally choose to run self-tests with `make check' before moving on to `make install' to install any necessary programs and files. For those seeking to remove program binaries and object files after installation, typing `make clean' is recommended. For a more comprehensive clean-up process, users can opt for `make distclean', though this is mainly intended for the package's developers. If utilized, it may require the acquisition of additional programs to regenerate files that were initially included in the distribution.
Overall, Libgweather is a reliable and effective weather library for those utilizing the GNOME desktop. With its ability to access weather information and its continual improvements, it serves as a valuable asset to any weather-related program or application.
