                                   =========

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

Linux
-----

You should be able to use the standard:

% ./configure
% make
% sudo make install

If you get an error about no package 'glib-2.0' found, then you need to
install the development package for glib2. Under Fedora, RHEL and friends
that would be:

% sudo yum install gcc pkgconfig glib2-devel

Under Debian, Ubuntu and friends that would be:

% sudo apt-get install gcc pkgconfig glib2-devel

If you get really stuck, you can use the --without-glib option to configure,
but this may well not be supported in a future version so this is probably
best avoided.

Microsoft Windows
-----------------

It should be possible to use MSYS (http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MSYS) to build
on a Windows machine. You'll need a copy of the development package for
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
access to such a system. Under Fedora, RHEL and friends you can do this
with:

% sudo yum install mingw32-gcc pkgconfig mingw32-glib2-static \
  mingw32-gettext-static mingw32-iconv-static
% ./configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32 --disable-shared \
  --bindir=/bookloupe --datadir=/
% make
% mkdir build
% make install DESTDIR=`pwd`/build

The contents of the build/bookloupe directory can then be copied to a
Microsoft Windows machine.

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

Mac
---

I think this should be quite similar to Linux, doing something like this:

% sudo port install gcc pkgconfig glib2-devel
% ./configure
% make
% sudo make install

It may also be possible to use fink instead of macports.
