    1.21  To build libptouch, you will need:
    1.22    GNU gcc    version 3.1 or later  (libptouch is tested with gcc 4.3.3)
    1.23    GNU make   version 3.80 or later (libptouch is tested with make 3.81)
    1.24 -  libgd      version 2.0 or higher (libptouch is tested with libgd 2.0.36)

    1.27 +To build the documentation, you will also need:
    1.28 +  doxygen    version 1.5 or later  (libptouch is tested with doxygen 1.5.8)

    1.30  Briefly, this means any common Linux distribution (Debian or RedHat based)

    1.49 +==================================================================
    1.50 +To use a libptouch-based application without superuser (root) privileges, you
    1.51 +must do one of two things:
    1.52 +
    1.53 +  1. Set the application's group ID to the user that normally owns printers
    1.54 +     (or serial ports) on your system, then chmod the application to "g+S"
    1.55 +     (turn the Set Group ID bit on). This will only work if all your printers
    1.56 +     use the same interface type, e.g. all serial or all USB.
    1.57 +
    1.58 +  2. Add the user who will be running the application to the 'lp' or 'dialout'
    1.59 +     group (for USB or serial printers respectively). Note that a user can be
    1.60 +     a member of more than one group -- see your system documentation for more
    1.61 +     information.
