choices, or to specify things like the default installation directory.
The file `INSTALL' gives a general overview of use of these sorts of
configure scripts (those generated by the GNU autoconf system.)
-The most important hint is probably this:
+
+If you have libraries in non-standard places, you can specify their
+locations with options like this:
./configure --with-motif=/opt/Motif --with-xpm=/usr/local
+On MacOS X, it is strongly recommended that you install Fink first
+(http://fink.sourceforge.net/). With Fink installed, you probably want
+to pass --prefix=/sw to configure.

Along with the xscreensaver daemon itself, this package also includes
numerous graphics hacks for use as screensavers. There is nothing
magic about these: they are just programs that draw on the root window.
-More than 140 such programs are included. For details, see the
+More than 175 such programs are included. For details, see the

============
+Changes since 4.13: * New hacks, `fontglide', `apple2', `xanalogtv', `pong',
+ `gleidescope', `mirrorblob', and `blinkbox'.
+ * New version of `glsnake' (with many more models.)
+ * Another Windows crash in `bsod'; also HVX/GCOS6/TPS6.
+ * New version of `endgame'.
+ * Screen grabbing works on MacOS X.
+ * Various minor fixes.
+Changes since 4.12: * On Xinerama systems, xscreensaver now runs one hack on
+ each monitor (just like in "real" multi-head mode)
+ instead of running one hack stretching across all the
+ screens. Note that for this to work with any 3rd party
+ screensavers, they must update their "vroot.h" file.
+ * `webcollage' and `vidwhacker' display images using
+ `xscreensaver-getimage' now.
+ * Added `ljlatest' script for use with `starwars' and
+ `phosphor'.
+Changes since 4.11: * New GL hacks, `flipflop', `antspotlight', and
+ `polytopes'.
+ * Added VMS to `bsod'.
+ * Compile without warnings in "gcc -pedantic".
+ * Updates to `webcollage' and `queens'.
+ * Fixed a bug that could cause PAM to hang.
+Changes since 4.10: * New hacks, `hypertorus', `cubestorm', `glknots',
+ `blocktube', and `glmatrix'.
+ * Updates to `cloudlife', `engine', `xmatrix', and
+ `sonar'.
+ * Rewrote `glslideshow': it should work on somewhat
+ wimpier video cards now.
+ * Various portability tweaks.
+Changes since 4.09: * New hacks, `cloudlife' and `klein'.
+ * Added Apple ][+, HPUX, and OS/390 sessions to BSOD.
+ * Added some Matrix Reloaded text to `xmatrix'.
+ * Updates to `webcollage', `eruption', `jigglypuff',
+ `metaballs', and `endgame'.
+ * Completely ignore the `memoryLimit' setting now,
+ since it was still causing people GL grief.
+ * Various minor fixes.
+Changes since 4.08: * New hacks, `flyingtoasters', `bouncingcow',
+ `jigglypuff', and `glslideshow'.
+ * More models in `engine'.
+ * Rewrote `xscreensaver-getimage' to remove reliance on
+ external image loaders (xv, chbg, xloadimage, etc.)
+ and to reduce flicker when loading files.
+ * Made `gflux' and `flipscreen3d' be mouse-spinnable.
+Changes since 4.07: * New hacks, `atunnels' and `piecewise'.
+ * Physics improvement in `fluidballs'.
+ * Various fixes for XDarwin systems (X11 on MacOS X.)
+ * Added -clock option to `barcode'.
+ * Minor fixes to `endgame', `flurry', `flipscreen3d',
+ and `gflux'.
+Changes since 4.06: * New hacks, `flurry', `metaballs', `eruption',
+ `popsquares', and `barcode'.
+ * Minor updates to `maze' for high density mazes.
+ * Added double buffering to `fluidballs' and `whirlygig'.
+ * Bug fixes for running xscreensaver to a remote XFree86
+ display (which nobody would ever do...)
+ * Updated `webcollage' (faster Alta Vista searching.)
+ * Updated `glplanet' so the sun sets in the west.
+ * Updated `sproingies' with smooth, unsegmented surfaces.
+ * Fixed Perl version-sensitivity in
+ `xscreensaver-getimage-file'.
+ * Fixed GTK2 scrolling bug in `xscreensaver-demo'.
Changes since 4.05: * New hack, `glblur' (disabled by default, since it
requires fast OpenGL texture support.)
* New hack, `halftone'.
