Requirements
------------

  * ruby 1.6
 (* C compiler)
  * Ming version 0.2a
    or JaMing version 0.1.2
  * fonts file with .fdb format.
    See ./fonts.en for details about the .fdb format fonts.

Install
-------

  De-Compress archive and enter its top directory.
  Then type:

    $ ruby setup.rb config
    $ ruby setup.rb setup
   ($ su)
    # ruby setup.rb install

  If the installer cannot find the ming library 'libming.a', and
  the installer fails to configure, try again with the following options;

    $ ruby setup.rb config -- --with-ming-dir=/usr/local

  The above option '--with-ming-dir' directs the installer to search the
  ming library at /usr/local.

  You can also install files into your favorite directory
  by supplying setup.rb some options. Try "ruby setup.rb --help".
