HOWTO

# gdk-pixbuf 0.22.0
# =================
# Slackware 9.0 comes with 0.17.0, Slackware 9.1 comes with 0.22.0
# GTK+ itself includes gdk-pixbuf 2.0, that library is
# /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.*, this one is /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf.*
# I created this howto for someone else and haven't even tried it myself.
# I think this version is for Gnome 1.x and old apps that can't work with
# the version that comes with gtk.

# Prerequisites:
# make
# gcc
# binutils
# fileutils
# X
# glib >= 1.2.0
# gtk >= 1.2.0
# libpng >= 1.0.3
# zlib >= 1.1.3
# libjpeg >= v6b
# libtiff >= 3.4
# gtk-doc >= 0.6 (Slack includes this in sgml-tools, see below)
# db2html (Slack 9.0 includes 'sgml-tools' in extra, 9.1 includes it as a
# regular package in 'ap', they're both version 1.0.9)
