libmng-1.0.5

Introduction to libmng

The libmng libraries are used by programs wanting to read and write Multiple-image Network Graphics (MNG ) files which are the animation equivalents to PNG files.

Package information

Installation of libmng

Install libmng by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-zlib \
   --with-jpeg --with-lcms &&
make &&
make install &&
cp doc/man/*.3 /usr/share/man/man3 &&
cp doc/man/*.5 /usr/share/man/man5

Command explanations

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-zlib \
--with-jpeg --with-lcms
This command sets the install directory and also tells the configuration routine to look and find zlib, libjpeg and lcms.

cp doc/man/*.X /usr/share/man/manX: The install procedure doesn't properly install the man pages so we do it manually.

Contents

The libmng package contains libmng libraries.

Description

MNG libraries
