Dependencies
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
nsxiv requires the following software to be installed:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Imlib2
|
|
|
|
|
* X11
|
|
|
|
|
* Xft
|
|
|
|
|
* freetype2
|
|
|
|
|
* fontconfig
|
|
|
|
|
* giflib (optional, automatically enabled if installed)
|
|
|
|
|
* libexif (optional, automatically enabled if installed)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please make sure to install the corresponding development packages in case that
|
|
|
|
|
you want to build nsxiv on a distribution with separate runtime and development
|
|
|
|
|
packages (e.g. \*-dev on Debian).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building
|
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
nsxiv is built using the commands:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running make will automatically detect if libexif and libgif are available and
|
|
|
|
|
enable them if so. CLI arguments will override any automatic detection.
|
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ make HAVE_LIBGIF=0
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
will always disable libgif.
|
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, they can be disabled via editing `config.mk`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing nsxiv:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please note, that this requires root privileges.
|
|
|
|
|
By default, nsxiv is installed using the prefix "/usr/local", so the full path
|
|
|
|
|
of the executable will be "/usr/local/bin/nsxiv".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can install nsxiv into a directory of your choice by changing this command to:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ make PREFIX="/your/dir" install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The build-time specific settings of nsxiv can be found in the file *config.h*.
|
|
|
|
|
Please check and change them, so that they fit your needs.
|
|
|
|
|
If the file *config.h* does not already exist, then you have to create it with
|
|
|
|
|
the following command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ make config.h
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
