zimg -- display 2-D data of arbitrary format
Copyright (C) 1999 - 2003 Johannes Zellner
INSTALLATION:
UNIX:
o first you need to have Thomas Boutell's gif driver gd (libgd).
(for further information see http://www.boutell.com/gd/)
in principle it is possible to compile zimg w/o the gd gif
driver, but as many zimg options won't work then this is
discouraged.
o ./configure
you might supply the path to the gd header files with
--with-gd-includes=.. and the path to the gd lib `libgd.a'
--with-gd-lib=<your/path>. Of course the usual prefix switches
are also supported.
Watch the configure output, if the headers are found.
After configuring you might want to check config.h:
all `HAVE' gd includes shoud be defined to `1'.
use --disable-edf, if you want to disable support for
ESRF data format (edf) files.
o make
o make install
this will also install the zimg.1 man page.
OS/2:
o use Makefile.os2 and copy config.os2 to config.h
DJGPP:
o see README.DJ2 (as for OS/2: use MAKEFILE.DJ2 and CONFIG.DJ2)
copy CONFIG.DJ2 to config.h
for both OS/2 and DJGPP you've eventually to make modifications to
the Makefile and the config file `by hand' as the unix configure
script is not used. This means basically deciding, which gd version
you use:
- gif gd version (e.g.: gd1.3)
config.h:
#define GD_HAS_GIF
#define GD_HAS_PNG
Makefile:
-lgd
- png / jpeg gd version (e.g.: gd1.8)
config.h:
/* #define GD_HAS_GIF */
/* #define GD_HAS_PNG */
Makefile:
-lgd -lpng -lz -lgd
(see for example MAKEFILE.DJ2)
