LXTask with a small piece of Rust to play

LXTask is a lightweight and desktop-independent task manager derived from xfce4-taskmanager with all dependencies on xfce removed, new features, and some improvement of the user interface.

Dependencies

It requires make, automake, intltool and GTK+ 2.6 or newer. Furthermore, you will also need the Rust toolchain to build the project.

To install Rust toolchain, you can access this page, or run the comamnd bellow.

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Build and Installation

To build LXTask, follow these steps:

./autogen.sh

Run the configure script to configure the build options:

./configure

Run the make command to build the LXTask:

make

Optionally, you can run the make check command to run the test suite:

make check

Finally, run the sudo make install command to install LXTask on your system:

sudo make install

Other Information

LXDE uses the Openbox window manager by default, but it can also be used with other window managers.
LXDE includes a range of lightweight applications, such as the PCManFM file manager and the LXPanel taskbar.
For more information about LXDE, see the project website at http://lxde.org/.

lxtask's Issues

Binary run requires `LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(rustc --print sysroot)/lib`

The way I made it works requires setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH env to $(rustc --print sysroot)/lib before running the lxtask binary itself.

i.g: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(rustc --print sysroot)/lib lxtask

Is there something I can do to avoid this set? Improve my make file?
