This distribution provides an S-Lang module for the GIMP Toolkit, also
known as Gtk.  To build this module you will need the following additional
libraries:

   1.  The slang library (http://www.jedsoft.org/slang/).
   2.  Gtk 2.x (http://www.gtk.org) and its dependencies.

The doc/README.deps file and admin/gtk-configure scripts may be
of assistance in building Gtk and its dependencies.

You must run the configure script before you can compile the
distribution.  If you are either unfamiliar with this process,
or would like to customize the build/installation, run

  ./configure --help

The default module installation location is

   $prefix/lib/slang/modules/           SLang 1
   $prefix/lib/slang/v2/modules/        SLang 2

By default higher-level packages (./packages/*.sl scripts) will be 
installed in

   $exec_prefix/share/slsh/local-packages/

where the values of the variable $prefix defaults to /usr/local, and
that of $exec_prefix to the value of $prefix.  These values may be 
changed using the --prefix and --exec-prefix configure script parameters.

For example, to set the value of $prefix to /home/bill, use

   ./configure --prefix=/home/bill ...

Once the configure script has been run, it is a good idea to inspect
the Makefile that it generated in the src directory.  Then building
and installing the library should involve nothing more than:

   make 
   make install

You may need to have root privileges to perform the last step.

Plain text documentation for the package can be found in doc/text, while
other formats are available online at
