# If you only want to compile the console version, run 'make mp3info'. If
# you only want to compile the GTK+ version, run 'make gmp3info'. Then
# run 'install -s binary /usr/local/bin/' to install the one you compiled
# (make install below will try to install both).

# Recent versions of gcc (I'm using 3.4.5 on this box) don't like a
# multi-line string in gmp3info.c, patch it to escape each line:

cd

# If you ever want to uninstall mp3info, this should do it:
cd
su
test -d src/mp3info-* && ( cd src/mp3info-* ; make uninstall )
( cd /usr/local/bin ; rm -f gmp3info mp3info )
rm -f /usr/local/man/man1/mp3info.1
