**Random Photo Screensaver**
Random Photo Screensaver (RPS) is a photo slide show screensaver written in Visual Studio C++. 

More information can be found at http://www.abscreensavers.com/random-photo-screensaver

**Structure**
RPS consists of two programs. A launcher that resides in the users' Windows folder and the actual program that resides in the installation folder including all required libraries. I've chosen for this option to make installation of the library files easier and avoid any conflicts with existing library files.

**Installation**
It's recommended to run the installer included with the binairy version before installing and compiling the versions from the source files.

I've only successfully compiled RPS using Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition, I did not successfully compile RPS using Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition.

**Building RPS Launcher**
Open "RPS Launcher\Random Photo Screensaver Launcher.sln" in Visual C++ 2005 and compile.

**Building RPS**
RPS requires the Exiv2 library which in turn requires a number of other libraries.

exiv2    http://www.exiv2.org/
zlib     http://zlib.net/
gettext  http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/
libiconv http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/
expat    http://expat.sourceforge.net/

After installing the libraries open RPS3.0.sln adjust the required library paths then compile.
