| 1 | sxiv: Simple (or small or suckless) X Image Viewer |
| 2 | |
| 3 | sxiv is a really simple alternative to feh and qiv. Its only dependency is |
| 4 | imlib2. The primary goal for writing sxiv is to create an image viewer, which |
| 5 | only implements the most basic features required for fast image viewing. Its |
| 6 | code base should be kept small and clean to make it easy for you to dig into it |
| 7 | and customize it for your needs. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | Installation |
| 10 | ------------ |
| 11 | sxiv is built using the commands: |
| 12 | |
| 13 | $ make |
| 14 | # make install |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Please note, that the latter one requires root privileges. |
| 17 | By default, sxiv is installed using the prefix "/usr/local", so the full path |
| 18 | of the executable will be "/usr/local/sbin/sxiv". |
| 19 | |
| 20 | You can install it into a directory of your choice by changing the second |
| 21 | command to: |
| 22 | |
| 23 | # PREFIX="/your/dir" make install |
| 24 | |
| 25 | All build-time specific settings can be found in the file "config.h". Please |
| 26 | check and change them, so that they fit your needs. |
