  • test/event.c: + Do not refresh after each event, but only when there is no event

pending.

+ If the pressed key is a printable character, display it.

  • src/time.c: + Moved _caca_getticks() to this file.
  • src/caca.c: + Set the escape delay to a very low value in the ncurses driver,

because I don't want escape sequences to be entered manually.

  • src/io.c: + Autorepeat emulation in the ncurses and slang drivers: do not

immediately send the key release event.

  • configure.ac: + Check for usleep. + Improvements in the win32 platform detection.

3Building libcaca
4
5   o  Run configure then make. Useful configure flags are:
6
7     --enable-ncurses: support for the ncurses library
8     --enable-slang: support for the SLang library
9     --enable-conio: support for MS-DOS conio.h
10     --enable-x11: support for native X11 rendering
11
12     --disable-imlib2: remove Imlib2 support in cacaview
13
14   o  Cross-compilation examples:
15 
16     ./configure --disable-imlib2 --host=i386-pc-msdosdjgpp
17
18     ./configure --disable-imlib2 --host=i586-mingw32msvc

21Using libcaca
22
23   o  Look into the examples/ directory for simple source code examples.
24
25   o  Compiling a libcaca program is fairly simple:
26
27      gcc -c foobar.c -o foobar.o `caca-config --cflags`
28      gcc foobar.o -o foobar `caca-config --libs`
29
30   o  If you are writing a shared object that uses libcaca, either a
31      dynamically loadable plug-in or a shared library, you should use
32      the `--plugin-libs' flag for libcaca:
33
34      gcc -fPIC -c libfoo.c -o libfoo.o `caca-config --cflags`
35      gcc -shared libfoo.o -o libfoo.so `caca-config --plugin-libs`
36
37
38Binary packages
39
40   o  As the API is not stable yet, everyone should statically link libcaca
41      with their programs or libraries. DO NOT DISTRIBUTE SHARED VERSIONS
42      OF LIBCACA.
