The aalib Portfile 57453 2009-09-11 08:17:15Z ryandesign macports.org $
PortSystem 1.0
Name: aalib
Version: 1.4rc5
Category: graphics
Revision: 4
Maintainers: ccc.de:tim
Description: Portable ascii art GFX library
Long Description: AA-lib is a low level gfx library just as many other libraries are. The main difference is that AA-lib does not require graphics device. In fact, there is no graphical output possible. AA-lib replaces those old-fashioned output methods with powerful ascii-art renderer. Now my linux boots with a nice penguin logo at secondary display (yes! Like Win95 does:) AA-lib API is designed to be similar to other graphics libraries. Learning a new API would be a piece of cake!

If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/aalib
%  sudo port install aalib  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching aalib
--->  Verifying checksum for aalib
--->  Extracting aalib
--->  Configuring aalib
--->  Building aalib with target all

--->  Staging aalib into destroot

--->  Installing aalib

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using aalib with these commands:

%  man aalib
%  apropos aalib
%  which aalib
%  locate aalib
