giflib-5.1.4
Installation of giflib
Install giflib by running the
following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static &&
make
To test the results, issue: make
check-TESTS. Test suite results are kept in
test.sh.log.
Now, as the root user:
make install
If xmlto-0.0.28 is installed, then the API
documentation has been built. If you wish to install the
distributed and the just built documentations, issue, as the
root user:
find doc \( -name Makefile\* -o -name \*.1 \
-o -name \*.xml \) -exec rm -v {} \; &&
install -v -dm755 /usr/share/doc/giflib-5.1.4 &&
cp -v -R doc/* /usr/share/doc/giflib-5.1.4
Command Explanations
find doc ... -exec rm -v {}
\;: This command removes Makefiles, man and xml files from the
documentation directory that would otherwise be installed by the
commands that follow.
--disable-static: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
