Building on Win32
-----------------

Please note that building the FIVIEW executable is only necessary if
you wish to make source-code changes.  If you just want to run the
program, please pick up a binary ZIP file for Windows from my site:

  http://uazu.net/fiview/

You can probably build the app using other tools, but I used the
excellent MinGW and MSYS, both available for free download from here:

  http://www.mingw.org/

Follow the instructions, and get MSYS and MinGW working on your
machine.  You'll probably need an unpacker that can handle .tar.gz
archives.  I put my 'mingw' directory inside the MSYS root, which
means it was c:\msys\1.0\mingw, with bin, include and so on within
that directory.  MSYS 1.0 was already set up with the PATH pointing
into these directories.

You also need the SDL 1.2 include files and libraries.  See:

  http://www.libsdl.org/

I installed them in these directories:

  C:\msys\1.0\mingw\include
  C:\msys\1.0\mingw\include\SDL
  C:\msys\1.0\mingw\lib


All that remains is to unpack the fiview source into the same home
directory (e.g. /home/unknown in my case), and to run the ./mk-mingw
script from the src/ directory.
