Platforms

PikView should compile under most linux distributions. It should be easy to port to any platform which supports KDE.

Requirements

KDE. If you have KDE installed then chances are that PikView will compile on your platform. The only other required library is the pthreads library. The ImageMagick library is optional and provides support for loading several image types (see above).
