Here are the PBMPlus utilities originally written by Jef Poskanzer, including
|
|
the libtiff libraries written by Sam Leffler of SGI. There are two files,
|
|
for those who just want binaries (sorry, no man pages there), then you should
|
|
get pbmplus.bin.tar.Z. If you want the man pages and sources get the other
|
|
file pbmplus.src.tar.Z also.
|
|
|
|
I've built this on Linux 0.95c+, with gcc-2.1 with success. To build the
|
|
package, login as root, cd to /, and tar xzvf pbmbin.tar.Z, then tar xzvf
|
|
pmbsrc.tar.Z. Once they're done, cd to /usr/local/pbmplus10dec91/libtiff,
|
|
type make (make sure you have lots of swap space available), then cd ..
|
|
and type make install. This should build and install all the utilities and
|
|
man pages for you. All you have to do is add /usr/local/pbmplus to your
|
|
path and play with some images.
|
|
|
|
Sorry, there's no viewer here (that I know of). Perhaps later I can add one.
|
|
But in the meantime ... Have fun. My early tests show that this runs about
|
|
1.25 times as fast as a MicroVax II, running Ultrix 3.1.

Oh yea, I believe the binaries are built NOT using shared libs - someone pleaes
|
|
check me on this. But, the Makefiles all specifiy that NEW images built will
|
|
use shared libraries. Small inconsistency, but I figured those who would
|
|
build their own would probably want the shared binaries anyway.

Enjoy! If you have questions I'll try to help, but I only check this mail
|
|
about once a week since it's long distance. But if you get stuck and aren't
|
|
in a hurry, email me at

Thanks to everybody responsible for Linux! I can't imagine PBMPlus on DOS!
