Compiling Docky 2 in openSUSE 11.2
Download article as PDF
By Maurice on November 24 2009 popularity:
The developers of GNOME DO are making a standalone version of Docky: Docky 2. It is still in development, but you already download and build it yourself using launchpad. This article shows how you can compile and install Docky 2 in openSUSE 11.2.
This article is written with openSUSE 11.2 in mind but can also be applicable to other openSUSE versions.

First install this on-click-install ymp file: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Mono/openSUSE_11.2/monodevelop.ymp
In a terminal do:

su root
zypper install bzr intltool gtk-sharp2-gapi gnome-keyring-sharp-devel devel_mono ndesk-dbus-glib-devel
bzr branch lp:docky
cd docky
./autogen
make
make install

When you do this, Docky will be installed to /usr/local/bin

If autogen fails, it is probably because of some missing dependency. Autogen will tell you which Ubuntu package you need, but you have to 'translate' it to a openSUSE package. For example: if it complains about a missing gnome-keyring-sharp-1.0 package, you have to install gnome-keyring-sharp-devel. Google is your friend.

Stuttering
Problem: While Docky in GNOME DO 0.8.2 was working fine in openSUSE 11.2, Docky 2 (2.0.0-Alpha-1 bzr docky r601) is stuttering on my computer. I have seen this same behaviour with Docky in GNOME DO on Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala). I think it's caused by the Intel (GM45/GL4) graphics chipset in my laptop. There are known regressions with Intel linux drivers lately. But again, with Docky in GNOME DO 0.8.2 on the same computer I have no problems.
