Compiling XV on Mandrake 8.1

Mandrake 8.1 comes preloaded with libjpeg.a & libtiff.a in the /usr/lib directory. The jpeg library is missing one function that is required by XV. The tiff library works. There are only a few minor changes to make to the top level Makefile. The comments #SWS# indicate where I changed things. You will get lots of warnings, but you will end up with a perfectly working XV.
Good luck!

1. Get the file xv-310a.tar.gz from: ftp://ftp.cis.upenn.edu/pub/xv 2. Put it in /usr/local/src

3. type "tar -xzvf xv-310a.tar.gz"

4. Substitue this Makefile for the one in the xv-310a subdirectory

5. type "make"

6. type "make install"
