INSTALL - information about source, compilation etc.
----------------------------------------------------

Installation was simplified in zgv 5.0 - due to popular demand :-), it
now solely uses shared libraries, and simply assumes that these
libraries are installed:

- svgalib
- libjpeg
- libpng
- zlib
- libtiff

(If you decide to enable PCD_SUPPORT, you'll also need libpcd, from
the xpcd package.)

These should all (except possibly libpcd?) come with your
distribution, and are probably already installed if you use anything
remotely `graphicsy'. :-) Do be sure to install any accompanying
`development' packages too, as these usually contain header files
necessary for compilation.

Any reasonably recent versions will do for all of these libraries, I
imagine. As ever though, I should note that you shouldn't use svgalib
version 1.2.10 or earlier due to a potential security risk.

So, once you're sure those libraries are installed, you should have a
overall check through `config.mk', to see if it all looks ok. Most
people should find it ok as-is, but you may want to change PREFIX
and/or comment out SHARE_INFIX if you want the files to go somewhere
other than /usr/bin, /usr/share/info, and /usr/share/man/man1. (The
latter two paths may look a little odd to old hands like me :-), but
they're FHS-friendly and thus the default.)

Then do `make', and (as root) `make install'. This compiles zgv, then
installs it and its documentation (both info files and man page).

Good luck!
