sxiv: Simple (or small or suckless) X Image Viewer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sxiv is a really simple alternative to feh and qiv. Its only dependency is
|
|
|
|
imlib2. The primary goal for writing sxiv is to create an image viewer, which
|
|
|
|
only implements the most basic features required for fast image viewing. It
|
|
|
|
works nicely with tiling window managers and its code base should be kept small
|
|
|
|
and clean to make it easy for you to dig into it and customize it for your
|
|
|
|
needs.

Installation
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
sxiv is built using the commands:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
# make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please note, that the latter one requires root privileges.
|
|
|
|
By default, sxiv is installed using the prefix "/usr/local", so the full path
|
|
|
|
of the executable will be "/usr/local/sbin/sxiv".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can install it into a directory of your choice by changing the second
|
|
|
|
command to:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# PREFIX="/your/dir" make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All build-time specific settings can be found in the file "config.h". Please
|
|
|
|
check and change them, so that they fit your needs.
