HOWTO

# xanim 2.80.1
# ============
# Create directories for the tarballs and source:
mkdir -p -m 0700 ~/installed/xanim ~/src

# Remove old directories that we used to use in this howto
test -d ~/installed/xanim && rm -r ~/installed/xanim
test -d ~/src/xanim && rm -r ~/src/xanim

cd
test -f installed/xanim2801.tar.gz && mv installed/xanim2801.tar.gz .
test ! -f xanim2801.tar.gz &&
wget http://xanim.polter.net/files/xanim2801.tar.gz
mkdir -p -m 0700 src
cd src
find -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "xanim*" -exec rm -r {} \;
tar xzvf ~/xanim2801.tar.gz
cd xanim2801

# If you previously installed MPlayer and it's xanim codecs into
# /usr/local/lib/xanim/mods, change XA_DLL_PATH in Imakefile to point there
# instead.  ...or you can add something like this to your /etc/profile (or
# .bash_login, or create a /etc/profile.d/xanim):
# export XANIM_MOD_DIR=/usr/local/lib/xanim/mods
#
# The default location for them is /usr/local/xanim/mods

xmkmf

# xmkmf ass|u|me-s that the actual .h files are in /usr/X11R6/include, but
# in the case of Slackware 10.0 anyway, that's not correct - they're in
# /usr/X11R6/include/X11 (aka. /usr/include/X11):
