Imlib2 1.4.4 This is the Imlib 2 library - a library that does image file loading and saving as well as rendering, manipulation, arbitrary polygon support, etc. It does ALL of these operations FAST. Imlib2 also tries to be highly intelligent about doing them, so writing naive programs can be done easily, without sacrificing speed. This is a complete rewrite over the Imlib 1.x series. The architecture is more modular, simple, and flexible. See index.html in the doc/ directory for more information. Imlib2 requires several libraries to be already installed. These are: libjpeg http://www.ijg.org/ libpng http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html freetype 2.1.x http://www.freetype.org/ For examples of this library in use, seek: Eterm http://www.eterm.org/ (CVS version only, currently) feh http://www.linuxbrit.co.uk/feh.html geist http://www.linuxbrit.co.uk/geist.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ COMPILING AND INSTALLING: ./configure make (as root unless youa re installing in your users directories): make install ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BUILDING PACKAGES: RPM: To build rpm packages: sudo rpm -ta imlib2-1.4.4.tar.gz You will find rpm packages in your system /usr/src/redhat/* dirs (note you may not need to use sudo or root if you have your own ~/.rpmrc. see rpm documents for more details) DEB: To build deb packages: tar zvf imlib2-1.4.4.tar.gz cd imlib2-1.4.4 dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot cd .. rm -rf imlib2-1.4.4 You will find all the debian source, binary etc. packages put in the directory where you first untarred the source tarball.
