Installation============LINUX-----Either install RPM packet with binaries, or compile as described in theUNIX section UNIX ----1. Extract package with gzip -dc g2-xxxx.tar.gz | tar xvf - 2. Run './configure'3. Run 'make depend'4. Optionally edit src/g2_config.h to fine-tune g2 behavior (only if   you know what are you doing)5. Run 'make' 6. Run 'make install' or copy libg2.a and g2.h, g2_X11.h, g2_gd.h, and   g2_PS.h to the default locations for library and include files. 7. cd to demo directory and  run 'make demo' to compile demo   applications8. To rebuild documentation run 'make doc' (html, PS and pdf manual   should be already included into documentation).WINDOWS NT----------1. Extract package: unzip 'g2-xxxx.zip' 2. For gd support, please download the binary gd version and place it in a   folder next to g2 using default folder name gdwin32, i.e. it is expected    in ../gdwin32 from the folder this file is residing.   You also will need to create the bgd.lib file using makemsvcimport.bat   3. MS Visual C++ users can build both library and demos with the supplied   project file: g2.xxx    users of gcc or other commandline based compilers with make support   continue as in Unix example VMS---Note: VMS is not tested in latest builds. However descrip.mms is agood starting point.1. set default to root of distribution directory2. type mms to build g2.olb library3. to compile demo files, set defualt to [.demo] and type mms4. to install: copy g2.olb and g2.h, g2_X11.h and g2_PS.h to install   directoriesPNG-SUPPORT-----------g2 needs to be linked to the free available gd library written byThomas Boutell in order to create PNG files.  g2 is tested withversion 2.0.22 of gd. gd is available at http://www.boutell.com/gd/ andat numerous mirror sites.  Use a ftp search(e.g. http://ftpsearch.ntnu.no/) and search for "gd1.3.tar.gz" to findyour nearest mirror site.PERL SUPPORT------------1. build g2 library2. cd to g2_perl and run	perl Makefile.PL	make	make testSHARED LIBRARIES----------------Support for shared libraries is tested on Linux and OSF(DigitalUnix). To build shared libraries type 'make shared'. If youwant to run demo applications without installed shared libraries, youshould add to LD_LIBRARY_PATH the path to the g2 shared library(e.g. 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/some/path/to/g2')
