ETL

ETL is a template library, there is nothing to build really, it just needed to be installed.

1. svn co http://svn.voria.com/code/ETL/trunk/ etl
2. cd etl
3. ./bootstrap
4. ./configure
5. sudo make install

synfig-core

Requires: ETL, libxml++, libsigc++
Optional: libltdl, libpng, libtiff, libjpeg, libfreetype, libfontconfig, libopenexr, libavcodec, vimage (MacOS only)
Runtime: encodedv (from libdv), ffmpeg, convert (from imagemagick)

1. svn co http://svn.voria.com/code/synfig-core/trunk/ synfig

Notes:

• Don't use --enable-half, it is slow.
