1This is libungif, a library for manipulating gif files in a manner compatible
2with libgif, the gif library authored and maintainer by Eric S. Raymond.
3The observant builder of this package may in fact notice that this package
4is mostly Eric S. Raymond's libgif with a few changes (Please see the NEWS
5file)

16Building this package should be as simple as:
17
18    ./configure
19    gmake
20    gmake install
21
22====
23I have found that automake currently generates Makefile's containing some
24GNUmake specific syntax.  If you cannot use GNU make for some reason and find
25that the generated makefile's won't work on your system, you will
26have to copy the Makefile.unx file to Makefile and configure the old way by
27following the directions in INSTALL.old.  There are three Makefile.unx files
28for the three directories that compilation occurs in:
29    the top dir (where the file you are reading is located)
30    lib
31    util
32
33I am not maintaining these Makefiles so they may be broken at present.  If you
34want to contribute fixes to them, I'll include them in the next distribution.
35(But it may be easier just to install gmake on your system.)
36
37====
38This package uses autoconf, automake, and libtool to create the configure
39script, so if you need to edit the configure.in or change a makefile target
40you should read the DEVELOPER file for hints on recreating the distribution
41using these tools.

43Good luck!
