Enabling IPF support

Amiberry provides support for IPF images since v2.13. In order to do this, Amiberry needs an external library (capsimg).

If you have downloaded a pre-compiled release, the library is already included in the archive. There's nothing else you need to do.

Alternatively, you can follow these steps to build that library manually:

Go in the directory where you have cloned the amiberry sources, then type:

sudo apt install autoconf (if you don't have it already)

git submodule update --init (this will populate and update the capsimg submodule included)

make capsimg

If all went well, you should have a library file compiled in the current directory:

capsimg.so

Copy or move the file above into the same directory your amiberry binary is located, so it can open it on startup.

E.g. if you're running RetroPie: sudo cp capsimg.so /opt/retropie/emulators/amiberry/

Start the emulator and try to load IPF images as disks (either from the Quickstart or the Floppy panels).
