Usage
=====
Preparation before running
--------------------------
If you are using a character encodings other than UTF-8 for filename on
Unix-like OS, you must set the following environmental variable (it will not
work correctly if it is not specified):
(use locale-specific encoding)
% export G_FILENAME_ENCODING=@locale
or
(manually specifying encoding)
% export G_FILENAME_ENCODING=ISO-8859-1
If you want to display messages translated to your language,
you must specify some environmental variables related to locale.
For example:
% export LANG=de_DE
(replace de_DE to the actual locale name)
If you don't want translated messages, set LC_MESSAGES to "C"
(and unset LC_ALL if specified).
How to use
----------
The simplest way for linking:
gcc -o foo foo.c `pkg-config glib-2.0 --cflags --libs` -lsylph
If you want to auto detect LibSylph with configure script, use the following
in configure.ac:
AC_ARG_WITH(libsylph,
[AC_HELP_STRING([--with-libsylph=DIR],
[search for LibSylph in DIR/include and DIR/lib])],
[if test "x$with_libsylph" != x; then
CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -I$with_libsylph/include"
LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -L$with_libsylph/lib"
fi])
AC_CHECK_LIB(sylph, syl_init,, AC_MSG_ERROR(Test for LibSylph failed.))
There are sample programs under examples directory in the distributed packages.
The method of compilation is described at the head of the sources as a comment.
The license of these sample programs is public domain.
See examples/README for details.

To update to the newest source tree, run the command:
svn update
at the target directory.
