When you run the program named 'hpcdtoppm' in this directory, +it tells you how to get the real Hpcdtoppm. + +When you get the real Hpcdtoppm tarball, just unpack it and replace +this entire 'hpcdtoppm' directory with its contents. Then build +Netpbm normally. + +Bear in mind when you get the real Hpcdtoppm, that it is not as openly +licensed as what's in the rest of the Netpbm source tree. As you'll +see in the license that comes with Hpcdtoppm, you may _not_ sell it to +someone else.) |
