8BUILDING AND INSTALLING THE LIBRARY
9-----------------------------------
10
11If you are using Visual Studio 2003 or above under Windows then load the Visual
12Studio 2003 project in the vs7 folder. By default, the library is built using
13SSE2 optimisations. To change this either change or remove the SQUISH_USE_SSE=2
14from the preprocessor symbols.
15
16If you are using a Mac then load the Xcode 2.2 project in the distribution. By
17default, the library is built using Altivec optimisations. To change this
18either change or remove SQUISH_USE_ALTIVEC=1 from the preprocessor symbols. I
19guess I'll have to think about changing this for the new Intel Macs that are
20rolling out...
21
22If you are using unix then first edit the config file in the base directory of
23the distribution, enabling Altivec or SSE with the USE_ALTIVEC or USE_SSE
24variables, and editing the optimisation flags passed to the C++ compiler if
25necessary. Then make can be used to build the library, and make install (from
26the superuser account) can be used to install (into /usr/local by default).
