Introduction to Notification Daemon

The Notification Daemon package contains a daemon that displays passive pop-up notifications.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS 12.1 platform.

Package Information

Notification Daemon Dependencies

Required

GTK+-3.24.41 and libcanberra-0.30 (Built with GTK+-3.24.41 support).

Installation of Notification Daemon

Install Notification Daemon by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=/usr     \
            --sysconfdir=/etc \
            --disable-static  &&
make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

You can test the notification daemon with the command notify-send: 

pgrep -l notification-da &&
notify-send -i info Information "Hi ${USER}, This is a Test"

The command pgrep -l notification-da is added to assure that it is the daemon of this package that is running, not another one, e.g. the daemon from xfce4-notifyd-0.9.4.
