Kind of useless, but it is good enhancement for aalib.

jftaylor21 > trying it.
As it is fun to use it a bit on a laptop with both people that know & people that don't use Linux

Well if you are able to get it to work, then tell me how! I tried it again using gcc 4 and I can't seem to compile it. It complains about not having imlib2-config when I have imlib2-devel installed. Maybe I need to use just imlib2?

Tell me of your experiences and which imlib2 do you use? Then I will clean the package up and release it on the aur for everyone to enjoy the cacaness of this package!

I built this a long time ago but I think i ran into this problem. I think imlib2-devel has been replaced with imlib2.

btw mplayer is super fun if you build it with support for caca

I checked and imlib2-devel uses the more generic pkgconfig instead of imlib2-config. I'm pretty busy right now, but if I get a chance to later (probably winter break), I'll patch it to work. Unless you want to do it.

P.S. I use this for a similar reason, I wanted to watch Star Wars in ASCII using mplayer I think (it could have been xine). Lots of fun!

OK, I figured out that it works with imlib2, just not imlib2-devel since imlib2 uses imlib2-config and imlib2-devel uses pkgconfig. I will patch it this december to make it work with imlib2 and imlib2-config. Until then, I guess you will have to install imlib2 temporarily to compile libcaca or pm me and I will send you a copy of the pkg.
