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 160 such programs are included. For details, see the

============
+Changes since 4.17: * Oops, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
+Changes since 4.16: * New hacks, `anemotaxis' and `memscroller'.
+ * Fixed a bad bug that caused `vidwhacker' to never die.
+ * Fixed normals and lighting in `polyhedra'.
+ * Don't reuse the window when changing hacks (to work
+ around bugs in some GL implementations.)
+ * Made `xscreensaver-getimage-file' skip thumbnail-sized
+ images.
+ * Fixed endian problem in `barcode' on non-x86.
+ * Updates to `webcollage', `apple2', `fuzzyflakes',
+ `atunnel', and `pacman'.
+ * Timing tweaks to `bubble3d', `bouncingcow', `engine',
+ `gltext', `lavalite', `molecule', `spotlight',
+ `sballs', `boxed', `blinkbox', and `circuit'.
+ * Configure updates for Fedora core 2 / xorg 6.7.0.
+ * Compile without warnings under gcc 3.3.3.
+ * I give up: don't blank or lock the screen if we can't
+ get a keyboard grab. In that case, both choices are
+ bad.
+Changes since 4.15: * New hacks, `polyhedra', `fuzzyflakes', `antinspect',
+ and `providence'.
+ * Minor updates to `webcollage', `bsod', `endgame',
+ `antspotlight', `xmatrix', and `glmatrix'.
+ * Added support for the RANDR (Resize and Rotate)
+ extension to detect when the size of the desktop has
+ been changed while xscreensaver is already running.
+ * Possibly-futile attempt to work around "rdesktop"
+ focus/grab idiocy.
+ * Made `xscreensaver-getimage -file' still work even if
+ imageDirectory is unset.
+ * Convert Latin1 to ASCII in `starwars' and `phosphor'
+ (since the GLUT font only has ASCII glyphs.)
+ * Fixed randomization in `noof'.
+ * Added "GetViewPortIsFullOfLies" preference to work
+ around longstanding XFree86 bug #421.
+ * Made `sonar' subnet pinging work properly on bigendian
+ machines (e.g., PPC.)
+Changes since 4.14: * New hacks, `wormhole', `mismunch', `noof', and
+ `pacman'.
+ * `phosphor' and `apple2' include vt100 emulators now:
+ this means you can do "phosphor -program top", or
+ can use either program as an xterm replacement:
+ "apple2 -text -fast -program 'xemacs -nw'".
+ * `analogtv' (and related) fill the screen better.
+ * The '-gradient' option works in `atlantis' now.
+ * Minor updates to `blinkbox', `queens', `endgame',
+ `glmatrix', `mirrorblob', `blocktube', and `molecule'.
+ * Integrated SuSE's "external passwd helper" support.
+ * Marginally better /tmp handling in various programs.
+ * Updated config defaults for xplanet 1.0.3.
+ * Portability fixes.
+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
