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`
