Building libcaca
o Run configure then make. Useful configure flags are:
--enable-ncurses: support for the ncurses library
--enable-slang: support for the SLang library
--enable-conio: support for MS-DOS conio.h
--enable-x11: support for native X11 rendering
--enable-gl: support for OpenGL rendering
--enable-win32: support for the Windows console
--enable-network: support for the network server
--disable-imlib2: remove Imlib2 support in cacaview
--disable-doc: do not build documentation
o Cross-compilation examples:
./configure --disable-imlib2 --host=i386-pc-msdosdjgpp
./configure --disable-imlib2 --host=i586-mingw32msvc
Using libcaca
o Look into the src/ and test/ directories for source code examples.
o Compiling a libcaca program is fairly simple:
gcc -c foobar.c -o foobar.o `pkg-config --cflags caca`
gcc foobar.o -o foobar `pkg-config --libs caca`
