TESTED PLATFORMS:

	This version of imlib has been compiled, installed, and run
	under the following UNIX systems with their native compiler:

			Solaris
			Linux
			FreeBSD
			Irix
			Digital UNIX
			AIX
			HPUX

	If you have another flavor of unix installed on your machine
	and it compiled/installed/ran successfully, please let me know so
	that I may add it to this growing list.  If you have modified your
	distribution in any way to get it to compile or run properly, PLEASE
	send in what you did to make it work so that it might be added into
	the distribution package.

HOW TO INSTALL:

   Automatic:
	
	Run the INSTALL script like this:
	
	   ./INSTALL
	
	It will ask questions, and ansewr them with y or n. If you don't like
	this or are suspicious, install manually (see below) or read the
	INSTALL file, as it is just a shell script.
	
NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE:
	When you install Imlib DR-0.11, you MUST recompile ALL programs that 
	use Imlib, if you want those programs to be able to load JPEG , PNG or TIFF
	format images. This means that Enlightenment, E-Plus, Wayve, Emodem,
	Doom-O-Meter, Eterm and others MUST be recompiled and their
	compilation flags CHANGED. You must add the following linking
	instructions to the linking line (just look for the -lIm part)
	
	-lm -lz -ljpeg -lpng -ltiff -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/openwin/lib
	
	Add more -L.... definitions if libraries are stored elsewhere on your 
	machine other than the default places (basically the lib directories
	where these libraries are stored).
	
	Add them in addition to -lIm -lX11 -lXext etc. (modify the Makefile
	or Imakefile) and recompile and install the executable. If this is 
	daunting, its a good time to learn how to change Makefiles/Imakefiles
	etc., or you will just have to wait for the authors to modify their 
	packages.
	
	If you do NOT do the above, You will have problems. Better if you do 
	NOT install 0.11 if it is too complex. Loading of JPEG's and PNG's
	is considerably faster in 0.11. TIFF's load, but aren't hellishly
	dats like PNG or JPEG. IT is recommended to use these two fromats
	normally, as well as PPM and PGM and EIM, as these are fast to load
	for Imlib and are now "native". TIFF is also "native", but isn't
	as fast. All other formats are "alien" and Imlib can still read these
	vis having some NETPBM utilities or ImageMagick's convert tool read
	it for Imlib and present it to Imlib in a format it can easily read.
	
	Manual:
	
	Compiling and installing imlib on your system is very simple.
	It requires that you possess ImageMagick or NetPBM, and the imlib
	source itself.  Once you have downloaded imlib, you should edit 
	the Imlib.tmpl file according to how you wish your system to be 
	set up.  Once have edited the Imlib.tmpl file to your satisfaction, 
	simply enter the source directory for imlib, and type:

		xmkmf -a

	Once you have done this, a Makefile should be generated that works
	with your system.  (provided you have X and the imake packages
	installed on your system)  Next type:

		make

	This will compile the sources for imlib and place library files
	in the source directory.  At this point you may copy this set of
	library files to a location suitable for execution, or continue by
	su'ing to the user you wish to install as (typically root) and
	typing the following:
	
		make install

	This should place imlib in the location you specified in
	the Imlib.tmpl file.  

	Make sure root runs ldconfig at this time as well.  To see
	how your system is linked, you can use the following command:

		ldconfig -v

	Once you have run ldconfig, applications (like enlightenment or
	Eterm or Eplus) will be able to use the most recent version of
	imlib.

	You should probably purge your system of old copies of imlib if
	you are upgrading from any version previous to 0.7 (if you didn't
	purge your system when you installed 0.7 you should purge as well) 
	and recompile all applications that use imlib as a foundation 
	for images.
