README


Building libcaca

o If you are using a Git or SVN checkout, you need to run the
bootstrap script in order to generate configure. This is not
necessary for official tarballs.

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`
