Building zView is a little bit complicated but not that much. 1. Download & compile & install libfreetype2 (the most recent version is 2.4.6 in time of writing this, it's proven to work). 2. Download & compile & install windom 1.21.3 after applying the patch. 3. Rename libwindom.a -> libwindom1.a, same for the header file (windom.h -> windom1.h) 4. Checkout & compile & install ldg (from the official sf.net site). You must not use the latest stable version (2.33). 5. Edit the path to libfreetype2 in the toplevel Makefile. 6. make
