@brndnmtthws Can you add man conky to sudo make install?

It's in there, you just have to build conky with MAINTAINER_MODE enabled:

Can you tell me how to? I don't know make, cmake, etc. I got cmake --enable-maintainer-mode to compile without issues, but I don't know the right answer. Also, I need to know so I can close this issue and document this somewhere on wiki.

cmake MAINTAINER_MODE=ON .

From what I gather, Conky 1 was rewritten to make Conky 2 possible. This happened not too long ago so I'm guessing this part hadn't been worked on for some time now. I'm pinging @brndnmtthws because I wanted to close this, #520, etc. :-)

Yes I have.

See ./doc/README.docs. If nothing turns up, I'll stop bothering you about this. cross fingers

@su8 This worked for me with cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DMAINTAINER_MODE=ON. If I do cmake -DMAINTAINER_MODE=ON alone, I get various errors in diskio.cc... due to cc1plus: all warnings being treated as errors. https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky/issues/197#issuecomment-410336158

@su8 Do you still have this problem? You didn't mention anything about the command above.

Why does it say Permission denied though? I'm sure the permissions looked good to you... Maybe you have a crazy locked down system that prevents this file from being read/written? One can dream.

Look for build.make file. See line 62. I have this... Might be helpful to run that command.

Try make VERBOSE=1? Otherwise, I dunno and will be going to bed. Goodnight.

@stardiviner For many weeks, I didn't have this issue with cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -D MAINTAINER_MODE=ON so I'm going ahead and close this. The command should work same for you.
Offtopic: There are few kinks in cmake/ConkyBuildOptions.cmake that ought to be worked on... such as default (unset) CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE behavior when we use cmake -D MAINTAINER_MODE=ON alone.
