gtk-1.2.10_4
Information for gtk-1.2.10_4:
Description:
GTK is a library for creating graphical user interfaces similar to
the Motif "look and feel". It is designed to be small and efficient, but
still flexible enough to allow the programmer freedom in the interfaces
created. GTK allows the programmer to use a variety of standard user
interface widgets such as push, radio and check buttons, menus, lists
and frames. It also provides several "container" widgets which can be
used to control the layout of the user interface elements.
GTK provides some unique features. (At least, I know of no other
widget library which provides them). For example, a button does not
contain a label, it contains a child widget, which in most instances
will be a label. However, the child widget can also be a pixmap, image
or any combination possible the programmer desires. This flexibility is
adhered to throughout the library.

libaudiofile-0.2.3
Information for libaudiofile-0.2.3:
Description:
This Audio File Library is an implementation of the SGI Audio File
library. Since the latter is specified ambiguously in places, I've
taken some liberties in interpreting certain such ambiguities. At the
present, not all features of the SGI Audio File library are
implemented. I feel, though, that this implementation of the Audio
File Library offers enough functionality to be useful for general
tasks.
This library allows the processing of audio data to and from audio
files of many common formats (currently AIFF, AIFC, WAVE, and
NeXT/Sun).

libesmtp-0.8.4
Information for libesmtp-0.8.4:
Description:
libESMTP is a library to manage posting (or submission of) electronic
mail using SMTP to a preconfigured Mail Transport Agent (MTA) such as
Exim. It may be used as part of a Mail User Agent (MUA) or another
program that must be able to post electronic mail but where mail
functionality is not the program's primary purpose. libESMTP is not
intended to be used as part of a program that implements a Mail
Transport Agent.
libESMTP is an attempt to provide a robust implementation of the SMTP
protocol for use with mail clients. It is being developed as a reaction
to the experience of incomplete or buggy implementations of SMTP and
also to help remove the need for the installation of MTAs on
workstations which only need them to provide a sendmail command for a
mail client to post its mail.

It can convert from any of these encodings to any other, through Unicode
conversion. It has also some limited support for transliteration, i.e.
when a character cannot be represented in the target character set, it can
be approximated through one or several similarly looking characters.
libiconv is for you if your application needs to support multiple character
encodings, but that support lacks from your system.

pkgconfig-0.12.0
Information for pkgconfig-0.12.0:
Description:
The pkg-config program is used to retrieve information about installed
libraries in the system. It is typically used to compile and link against one
or more libraries.
pkg-config retrieves information about packages from special metadata files.
These files are named after the package, with the extension .pc. By default,
pkg-config looks in the following directories: ${PREFIX}/libdata/pkgconfig,
${LOCALBASE}/libdata/pkgconfig and ${X11BASE}/libdata/pkgconfig for these
files; it will also look in the list of directories specified by the
PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable.
The package name specified on the pkg-config command line is defined to be the
name of the metadata file, minus the .pc extension. If a library can install
multiple versions simultaneously, it must give each version its own name (for
example, GTK 1.2 might have the package name "gtk+" while GTK 2.0 has
"gtk+-2.0").

png-1.2.4
Information for png-1.2.4:
Description:
Libpng was written as a companion to the PNG specification, as a
way to reduce the amount of time and effort it takes to support
the PNG file format in application programs. Most users will not
have to modify the library significantly; advanced users may want
to modify it more. The library was coded for both users. All
attempts were made to make it as complete as possible, while
keeping the code easy to understand. Currently, this library
only supports C. Support for other languages is being considered.

conversation between the client and server applications.
Optional features are: access control to restrict what systems can
connect to what network daemons; client user name lookups with the RFC
931 etc. protocol; additional protection against hosts that pretend to
have someone elses host name; additional protection against hosts that
pretend to have someone elses host address.

startx script is needed. If you have XFree86 3, do not install
this: you do not need it and it will not work. If you have no
untrusted users or always run the X server from xdm, you do not
need this (in the latter case, just take the suid bit off your X
server).
