+BUILDING DVISVGM FROM SOURCE
+
+ dvisvgm is written in C++11 (ISO C++ standard 2011) and requires an appropriate
+ compiler, like GCC 4.8.1, Clang 3.3, or any later version. The configure script
+ checks for the availability of C++11 support and adds the proper compiler
+ options if necessary.
Quick installation info:
+ * type "./autogen.sh" if "configure" is not present in the dvisvgm
+ root folder
* type "./configure"
* type "make"
* type "make install" as root (or "sudo make install")
