# feh-3.12.2

## Introduction to feh

feh is a fast, lightweight image viewer which uses Imlib2. It is commandline-driven and supports multiple images through slideshows, thumbnail browsing or multiple windows, and montages or index prints (using TrueType fonts to display file info). Advanced features include fast dynamic zooming, progressive loading, loading via HTTP (with reload support for watching webcams), recursive file opening (slideshow of a directory hierarchy), and mouse wheel/keyboard control.

### Note

Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if LFS or dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the books.

    make PREFIX=/usr

To test the results, issue: make test.

Now, as the `root` user:

    make PREFIX=/usr install

## Command Explanations

sed -i "s:doc/feh:&-3.12.2:" config.mk: This sed fixes the doc directory to a versioned one, as used in BLFS.

`curl=0`: Use this make flag if you don't have the cURL package installed.
