General installation instructions can be found in INSTALL. The following
ali@0
     5
aim to give a quick overview and some help for specific systems. Documentation
ali@5
     6
for bookloupe itself can be found in doc/bookloupe.txt and for the test
ali@5
     7
framework in doc/loupe-test.txt.

You should be able to use the standard:
ali@0
    13
ali@0
    14
% ./configure
ali@0
    15
% make
ali@0
    16
% sudo make install
ali@0
    17
ali@0
    18
If you get an error about no package 'glib-2.0' found, then you need to
ali@0
    19
install the development package for glib2. Under Fedora, RHEL and friends
ali@0
    20
that would be:
ali@0
    21
ali@0
    22
% sudo yum install gcc pkgconfig glib2-devel
ali@0
    23
ali@0
    24
Under Debian, Ubuntu and friends that would be:
ali@0
    25
ali@0
    26
% sudo apt-get install gcc pkgconfig glib2-devel
ali@0
    27

It should be possible to use MSYS (http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MSYS) to build
ali@0
    32
on a Windows machine. You'll need a copy of the development package for
ali@0
    33
glib and its dependencies from http://www.gtk.org/download/win32.php.

It's much easier to build using a cross-compiler from Linux, if you have
ali@0
    36
access to such a system. Under Fedora, RHEL and friends you can do this
ali@0
    37
with:
ali@0
    38
ali@0
    39
% sudo yum install mingw32-gcc pkgconfig mingw32-glib2-static \
ali@0
    40
  mingw32-gettext-static mingw32-iconv-static
ali@0
    41
% ./configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32 --disable-shared \
ali@5
    42
  --bindir=/bookloupe --datadir=/
ali@0
    43
% make
ali@0
    44
% mkdir build
ali@0
    45
% make install DESTDIR=`pwd`/build
ali@0
    46
ali@5
    47
The contents of the build/bookloupe directory can then be copied to a
ali@0
    48
Microsoft Windows machine.

Depending on the version of mingw32-gcc you use, you may need to specify a
ali@0
    51
different host type. If you're not sure look and see what the cross-compiler
ali@0
    52
is called (eg., i686-pc-mingw32-gcc) and use the prefix as the host type.

I think this should be quite similar to Linux, doing something like this:
ali@0
    58
ali@0
    59
% sudo port install gcc pkgconfig glib2-devel
ali@0
    60
% ./configure
ali@0
    61
% make
ali@0
    62
% sudo make install
ali@0
    63
ali@0
    64
It may also be possible to use fink instead of macports.
