The libmng libraries are used by programs wanting to read and write mng files which are the animation equivalents to png files.

libmng depends on: 
libjpeg-6b and lcms-1.09

Installation of libmng

Install libmng by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-zlib \
   --with-jpeg --with-lcms &&
make &&
make install &&
cp doc/man/*.3 /usr/share/man/man3 &&
cp doc/man/*.5 /usr/share/man/man5

Command explanations

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-zlib \
--with-jpeg --with-lcms 
This command sets the install directory and also tells the configuration routine to look and find zlib, libjpeg and lcms.

cp doc/man/*.X /usr/share/man/manX : The install procedure doesn't properly install the man pages so we do it manually.

Contents
