Compilation

Once devel packages are installed the compilation is as simple as running configure and make.

Note The configure script is written in Python.
Compilation
gfxprim # ./configure
...

gfxprim # make
Tip GFXprim supports proper parallel build, you most likely want to add the -j with number of your processors + 1 as a parameter to the make.
Installation
gfxprim # make install

The make install command will install GFXprim libraries and devel headers into your system.

Deb packages can be build from the GFXprim source (after installing necessary devel packages) by:
