Installation

After successful compilation you should have a libflif.* file (extension dependent on OS). You can install this globally or application specific. To install it globally, copy it to QTDIR/plugins/imageformats/. To only use it with a specific application, create a folder called imageformats in the executable's folder and place the plug-in there.
