Description

Dunst is a highly configurable and lightweight notification daemon.

Installation

Dependencies

Dunst has a number of build dependencies that must be present before attempting configuration. The names are different depending on distribution:

• dbus
• libxinerama
• libxrandr
• libxss
• glib
• pango/cairo
• libgtk-3-dev

Building

git clone https://github.com/dunst-project/dunst.git
cd dunst
make
sudo make install

Make parameters

• PREFIX=<PATH>: Set the prefix of the installation. (Default: /usr/local)
• BINDIR=<PATH>: Set the dunst executable's path (Default: ${PREFIX}/bin)
• DATADIR=<PATH>: Set the path for shared files. (Default: ${PREFIX}/share)
• MANDIR=<PATH>: Set the prefix of the manpage. (Default: ${DATADIR}/man)
• SYSTEMD=(0|1): Enable/Disable the systemd unit. (Default: detected via pkg-config)
• SERVICEDIR_SYSTEMD=<PATH>: The path to put the systemd user service file. Unused, if SYSTEMD=0. (Default: detected via pkg-config)
• SERVICEDIR_DBUS=<PATH>: The path to put the dbus service file. (Default: detected via pkg-config)

Make sure to run all make calls with the same parameter set. So when building with make PREFIX=/usr, you have to install it with make PREFIX=/usr install, too.
