The libmng libraries are used by programs wanting to read and write mng files which are the animation equivalents to png files.
libmng depends on: zlib-1.1.4, libjpeg-6b and lcms-1.08 |
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 |
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-zlib \ --with-jpeg --with-lcms |
cp doc/man/*.X /usr/share/man/manX : The install procedure doesn't properly install the man pages so we do it manually.
As with most libraries, there is no configuration to do, save that the library directory i.e. /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib should appear in /etc/ld.so.conf so that ldd can find the shared libraries. After checking that this is the case, /sbin/ldconfig should be run whilst logged in as root.
The libmng package contains the mng libraries.
libmng provides functions for programs wishing to read and write mng files which are animation files without the patent problems associated with certain other formats.
