-Warning: The Netpbm distribution uses long filenames, so you can only
-build the package in a W9x environment, with LFN support.
-
-To build Netpbm with DJGPP v2.0x you need:
-
-        - djgpp: gcc, make, and binutils
-        - bash 
-        - fileutils
-        - sed
-        - groff (to convert man pages to cat format)
-        - man and less (to read the converted man pages)
-
-You can fetch all packages on Simtelnet in the DJGPP tree:
-ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/
-
-You need too four external libraries to add tiff, png and jpeg support
-to Netpbm (you can build without them, modifying Makefile.config.djgpp
-but I think it makes Netpbm useless).
-
-        - Libtiff (www.libtiff.org)
-        - Libjpeg (www.ijg.org)
-        - Libpng  (www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html)
-        - Libz    (www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip)
-
-All libraries come with guidelines to compile ok with DJGPP. At this time
-you can get binary packages of libjpeg, libpng and libz on Simtelnet.
-
-
-To build the Netpbm programs do the following:
-
-  Copy Makefile.config.djgpp to Makefile.config
-
-  Run "touch Makefile.config" to prevent Make from updating the file.
-
-  Read the Makefile.config and make any changes you want
-
-  Do "make merge"
-
-  Do "make install-merge" to install binaries and man pages.
-
-  Makefile.config.djgpp is set up to install these in TMPDIR/netpbm
-  (normally /dgjpp/tmp/netpbm).  If everything worked OK, you can
-  move the contents of this directory to your DJGPP production tree.
-
-
-WARNING
-
-There are some problems that have to be addressed if using the
-binaries in pure DOS OS, without long file names, but it works OK
-using "netpbm <utility>" (<utility> is the real Netpbm program to be
-used, for example: 
-
-      netpbm ppmtobmp <testimg.ppm >testimg.bmp
-
-instead of the usual
-
-      ppmtobmp <testimg.ppm >testimg.bmp).
-
-
-
-This procedure and the code to adapt Netpbm to DJGPP was contributed by
-M.Alvarez <malfer@teleline.es> in August 2001.  You can find his 
-current information on using Netpbm with DJGPP and prebuilt binaries
-at <http://www.terra.es/personal/malfer/netpbm/netpbm.htm>.
