HOWTO

# zgv 5.9
# =======
# svgalib
# SDL (if you enable the SDL backend instead of svgalib)
# libjpeg
# libpng
# zlib
# libtiff
# libpcd (optional; for PhotoCDs)

# I was not able to compile zgv from source under Slackware 9.0 with gcc
# 3.3.1, I was able to compile it under Slackware 9.1 with gcc 3.2.3 I
# would imagine that it was the gcc version that made the difference, but I
# did not verify this.
#
# I added a binary installation at the bottom too for anyone that has
# trouble building it.

# Source installation:
cd
test -f installed/zgv-5.9.tar.gz && mv installed/zgv-5.9.tar.gz .
test ! -f zgv-5.9.tar.gz &&
wget http://www.svgalib.org/rus/zgv/zgv-5.9.tar.gz
mkdir -p -m 0700 src
cd src
find -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "zgv-*" -exec rm -r {} \;
tar xzvf ~/zgv-5.9.tar.gz
cd zgv-5.9
test $UID = 0 && chown -R root:root .

# If you want to build in SDL support, see config.mk
make

# Become root to install it
su
rm -f /usr/info/zgv /usr/info/zgv-?
make install

# Become yourself again
exit

cd
mkdir -p -m 0700 installed
rm -f installed/zgv-*.tar.*
mv zgv-5.9.tar.gz installed/

# Binary installation:
cd
test -f installed/zgv-5.9-bin.tar.gz && mv installed/zgv-5.9-bin.tar.gz .
test ! -f zgv-5.9-bin.tar.gz &&
wget http://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/apps/graphics/viewers/svga/\
zgv-5.9-bin.tar.gz
mkdir -p -m 0700 src
cd src
find -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "zgv-*" -exec rm -r {} \;
tar xzvf ~/zgv-5.9-bin.tar.gz
cd zgv-5.9-bin
test $UID = 0 && chown -R root:root .

# Install it as root
su -c make

cd
mkdir -p -m 0700 installed
rm -f installed/zgv-*.tar.*
