HOWTO: clanlib
Description: Game software development kit
Click here for ChangeLog
NOTE: I use GNU tar >= 1.13.25 so it's -j for .tar.bz2 files,
it's safe to assume that make, gcc, binutils, fileutils/coreutils, gawk, sed, and grep are prerequisites for almost everything

# ClanLib 0.7.8
# =============
# To view a list of games that use ClanLib, go here.

# Version 0.6.5 is the latest stable version of ClanLib.  It's fairly old
# and I wasn't able to compile it the last time I tried.  The web site's
# download page now says this:
#
# "Even though we classify the 0.7.x branch as the development/unstable
# branch, we are mighty proud of the current state of ClanLib 0.7. It is
# alot better than 0.6 in all ways, and we fully recommend using 0.7.x
# instead of 0.6.5."
#
# So, now I only include the development version here.  (plus, I tried to
# find 0.6.5 somewhere on their site or my HD and couldn't)

# Prerequisites:
# gawk
# sed
# grep
# pkg-config (optional AFAIK)
# zlib
# XFree86 or X.org (optional AFAIK)
# libpng
# libjpeg
# SDL >= 1.2.0 with SDL_gfx
# mikmod
# libogg, libvorbis (optional)
# perl
