platform.
Package Information
giflib Dependencies
Optional
xmlto-0.0.28 (for html documentation)
User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/giflib
Installation of giflib
Install giflib by running the
following commands:
make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make PREFIX=/usr install &&
rm -vf /usr/lib/libgif.a
If xmlto-0.0.28 is installed, then the API
documentation has been built. If you wish to install the
distributed and the just built documentations, issue, as the
root user:
find doc \( -name Makefile\* -o -name \*.1 \
-o -name \*.xml \) -exec rm -v {} \; &&
install -v -dm755 /usr/share/doc/giflib-5.1.6 &&
cp -v -R doc/* /usr/share/doc/giflib-5.1.6
Command Explanations
find doc ... -exec rm -v {}
\;: This command removes Makefiles, man and xml files from the
documentation directory that would otherwise be installed by the
commands that follow.
--disable-static: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
