This is because it does not support TrueType fonts.<br /> <br /> REQUIREMENTS<br /> ------------<br /> Compiling CMUgraphicsLib requires the following things:<br /> <br /> - A reasonably modern C++ compiler. gcc 2.81 is my baseline standard. <br /> CodeWarrior also seems to be reasonably capable. Visual C++ may require <br /> some tweaking. Last time I looked at the various Borland/Inprise product <br /> line, they did not meet my definition of modern. Your milage may very.<br /> <br /> - If you are using the GLUT (default) renderer you will need the following <br /> libraries to compile it:<br /> <br /> OpenGL 1.1 - If your video hardware has support for GL you will want <br /> to use the drivers that come with it. If you are trying <br /> to compile for Windows, the system and compiler should <br /> already come with the appropriate libraries, headers, and<br /> drivers. Apple distributes their own GL libraries, <br /> headers, and drivers at: <br /> <br /> http://developer.apple.com/opengl/downloads.html. <br /> <br /> BeOS also comes with all the neccessary libraries, <br /> headers, and drivers in the default installation. If <br /> you don&#039;t fall into one of these cases you will want to <br /> download and build againt Mesa which can be obtained <br /> here: <br /> <br /> http://www.mesa3d.org/<br /> <br /> GLUT 3.x - GLUT is a toolkit built ontop of OpenGL and the <br /> particular operating system you are using. The Windows<br /> and Unix versions of GLUT can be:<br /> <br /> http://reality.sgi.com/mjk/glut3/glut3.html<br /> <br /> Apple provides their own version of GLUT along with their<br /> OpenGL drivers. The BeOS version of GLUT can be <br /> downloaded at:<br /> <br /> http://www.be.com/software/beware/libraries/glut.html<br /> <br /> libPNG 1.0.5 - libPNG provides support for loading and saving PNG <br /> images: <br /> <br /> http://www.cdrom.com/pub/png/pngcode.html<br /> <br /> In the futue this may become an optional library that you <br /> can choose whether to include at compile-time.<br /> <br /> JPEGlib v6b - JPEGlib provides support for loading and saving JPEG <br /> images:<br /> <br /> ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/tg/tgl/uunet/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz<br /> <br /> In the futue this may become an optional library that you <br /> can choose whether to include at compile-time.<br /> <br /> - If you want to fiddle with the provided configuration scripts you <br /> will need to have autoconf, automake, and libtool which can be obtained<br /> at: <br /> <br /> ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.13.tar.gz<br /> <br /> ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/automake/automake-1.4.tar.gz<br /> <br /> ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/<br /> <br /> <br /> COMPILING ON UNIX<br /> -----------------<br /> <br /> ECCS Patched version<br /> <br /> This is configured for ECCS linux and BSD platforms with POSIX threads<br /> There is no configuration script in this tarball<br /> Just <br /> make<br /> make install<br /> <br /> If you want to put it somewhere besides /usr/local use<br /> make PREFIX=&lt;installation location&gt; install<br /> (no trailing `/&#039; on installation location)<br /> <br /> One can also build a non-standard version with<br /> make VERSION=&lt;some short string&gt;<br /> make VERSION=&lt;same short string&gt; install<br /> ========================<br /> <br /> DOCUMENTATION<br /> -------------<br /> <br /> There are out of date man pages in man/ which are not installed by make<br /> install. A much hacked html manual is in the accompanying project<br /> cmg2docs/</div>
