**Simple X Image Viewer**
|
|
|
|
The sole purpose of sxiv is to be the perfect image viewer for me. It is free
|
|
software so that you can use it and modify it for your needs. Please file a bug
|
|
report if something does not work as documented or expected. Contributions are
|
|
welcome but there is no guarantee that they will be incorporated.
|
|
|
|
|
|

Dependencies
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
sxiv requires the following software to be installed:
|
|
|
|
* Imlib2
|
|
* X11
|
|
* Xft
|
|
* freetype2
|
|
* fontconfig
|
|
* giflib (optional, disabled with `HAVE_GIFLIB=0`)
|
|
* libexif (optional, disabled with `HAVE_LIBEXIF=0`)
|
|
|
|
Please make sure to install the corresponding development packages in case that
|
|
you want to build sxiv on a distribution with separate runtime and development
|
|
packages (e.g. *-dev on Debian).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
sxiv is built using the commands:
|
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
# make install
|
|
|
|
Please note, that the latter one requires root privileges.
|
|
By default, sxiv is installed using the prefix "/usr/local", so the full path
|
|
of the executable will be "/usr/local/bin/sxiv".
|
|
|
|
You can install sxiv into a directory of your choice by changing the second
|
|
command to:
|
|
|
|
# make PREFIX="/your/dir" install
|
|
|
|
The build-time specific settings of sxiv can be found in the file *config.h*.
|
|
Please check and change them, so that they fit your needs.
|
|
If the file *config.h* does not already exist, then you have to create it with
|
|
the following command:
|
|
|
|
$ make config.h
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Please see the [man page](http://muennich.github.com/sxiv/sxiv.1.html) for
|
|
information on how to use sxiv.
