cacaview(1) General Commands Manual cacaview(1)
NAME
cacaview - ASCII image browser
SYNOPSIS
cacaview [FILE...]
DESCRIPTION
cacaview is a lightweight text mode image viewer. It renders images using colour ASCII characters. It is a powerful add-on to famous console programs such as the mutt email client,
the slrn newsreader and the links or w3m web browsers.
cacaview can load the most widespread image formats: PNG, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP etc.
You can zoom and scroll the image around for more details, and choose four different dithering modes. All commands are accessible through a single key press.
Unfortunately, the version included in Slackware doesn't include imlib2 support, so it only supports bitmap images. I tried rebuilding it after installing imlib2, but it still failed and I haven't had time to research why.
I built it with imlib2. It translates images into whatever it can display with characters: it's ASCII art with color. It's cute, but it's not the image I want to see.

I now understand what you mean... sorry for the noise.
But how did you build it with imlib2 support? When I did that, it gives me the following error:

Hi
Thanks for today update, but in the packages kernel-modules* there is an error!
After install this update, system create broken link "build" and "source" in /lib/modules/4.14.24*/ folders.
build -> /tmp/package-kernel-source/usr/src/linux-4.14.24, but need /usr/src/linux-4.14.24
source -> /tmp/package-kernel-source/usr/src/linux-4.14.24, but need /usr/src/linux-4.14.24
Correct this in doinst.sh, in packages kernel-modules-4.14.24-i586-1 and kernel-modules-smp-4.14.24_smp-i686-1.
