Installation of libmng

Install libmng by running the following commands:

chmod 755 autogen.sh &&
sh autogen.sh &&
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make &&
make install &&
cp doc/man/*.3 /usr/share/man/man3 &&
cp doc/man/*.5 /usr/share/man/man5

Command explanations

sh autogen.sh: This package does not ship with a configure script. The autotool files need to be generated before configuring the package.

cp doc/man/*.X /usr/share/man/manX: The install procedure doesn't install the man pages so they are copied manually.

Contents

The libmng package contains libmng libraries.

Description

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.
