Lock Keys Applet displays the status of Caps-, Num-, and Scroll Lock keys on GNOME 2 platforms. Formerly known as Led_applet, it serves as a handy indicator for users.
Lock Keys Applet is a GNOME-applet that displays the status of the caps-, num-, and scroll-lock keys on your keyboard. While this may not be particularly useful for regular keyboards with built-in LED indicators, it can be a handy tool for keyboards without such features, especially wireless keyboards. Another useful feature of the applet is that it saves the status of the lock-keys and restores it when starting GNOME.
Installing Lock Keys Applet requires running the `configure' shell script, which attempts to identify various system-dependent variables used during compilation. Once correctly identified, `configure' creates a `Makefile' in every package directory, which helps to compile the package. The script may also create `.h' files with system-dependent definitions, a shell script `config.status' for future configuration, a file `config.cache' to speed up reconfiguration, and a file `config.log' with compiler output for debugging purposes. If any unusual steps are necessary to compile the package, they should be related to the address provided in the `README'.
`configure.in' is used to create `configure' via a program called `autoconf'. `configure.in' is only necessary if developers need to alter or regenerate `configure' utilizing a newer edition of `autoconf'. Compiling the package is easy and involves moving to the source code directory of the package and executing `./configure' to configure the package. If working with `csh' on an older version of System V, it may be necessary to execute `sh ./configure' instead of allowing `csh' to implement `configure' independently. While running, `configure' checks for available features and offers updates on the process.
After configuration, type `make' to compile the package. To run any package self-tests, type `make check,' and to conclude the installation and install data files and documentation, type `make install.' Type `make clean' to remove program binaries and object files from the source code directory, or `make distclean' to remove the files created by `configure' such that the package can be compiled for a different type of computer. The `make maintainer-clean' target is primarily intended for package developers.
In this release, everything has almost been renamed to lock-keys-applet.
