Download res2image

Download the latest version for UNIX/Mac OS X: res.tar.gz (1.1 MB). See also the precompiled res2image for Mac OS X on the site of Filip Vervloesem (version 0.2.3).
Download version 0.2.3 for Windows: res2image-0.2.3.zip (1.2 MB). This version was generously prepared by Pierrick Brihaye and Pierre Dittgen.

Instructions under UNIX and Mac OS X

Download res.tar.gz to some directory and cd to that directory.
Execute: gunzip res.tar.gz
- If necessary, first install gzip.
Execute: tar xvf res.tar
Execute: cd RES
Execute: make fresh
or alternatively: gmake fresh
- If necessary, first install the GCC compiler, and GNU make.
- If your C compiler is not called gcc, try editing the line
```
CC=gcc
```
  in src/Makefile accordingly, e.g. replace gcc by cc.
- In any case, you may get many compiler warnings. These can be safely ignored.
The executable file is now called: res2image. Let us assume this is in directory: /my_directory
Choose a directory mentioned in the value of the PATH variable. Alternatively, create some directory, and add it to the PATH variable. Let us assume this directory is called: /usr/bin
- The value of the PATH variable can be determined by: echo $PATH
Execute: cd /usr/bin
Using any editor, create a file (shell script) that is also called res2image, which contains just one line:
```
/my_directory/res2image $*
```
Execute: chmod +x res2image

If make fresh fails, there are two possible cures:

Maybe makedepend is installed but not included in the value of the PATH variable, and not in /usr/X11R6/bin. If this applies, try to find it elsewhere (or if necessary download it). Add the path to the PATH variable and try again.
Instead of make fresh, just execute: make. This suffices if you do not intend to change the source code.

Download and unzip. Compilation is not necessary. As I have no access to Microsoft products, I cannot offer further support for this version.
