| This is a port of the GL and GLU libraries to NeXT/Apple object | |
| orientated systems. As these systems have their own window handling | |
| systems we simply use the offscreen rendering capability of Mesa | |
| to generate bitmaps which may then be displayed by the application | |
| with a View as required. Example pieces of code may be found in the | |
| OpenStep directory. | |
| Sadly there are now a proliferation of different system that we need to | |
| support compilation for: The original NextStep system, The OpenStep | |
| system, the Rhapsody/Mac OS X system and also the windows implementations | |
| of the latter two systems. This version of the code has been compiled and | |
| tested under the following architectures: | |
| NextStep 3.3 | |
| OpenStep 4.2 | |
| Rhapsody DR2 | |
| WebObjects for NT 3.5 | |
| WebObjects for NT 4.0 | |
| All tests were done with Intel processors. Feedback on other systems would, | |
| however, be appreciated ! | |
| On UNIX systems simply type "make openstep". Under Windows systems | |
| with WebObjects run the "win32-openstep.sh" script from within the Bourne | |
| shell provided with the development environment. In both cases this will | |
| build the libraries and place them into the "lib" directory. Some examples | |
| may be found in the OpenStep directory showing how to use the code in an | |
| actual application (MesaView) as well as some command line demos. | |
| The CC variable may be specified on the command line for doing such things | |
| as building FFAT libraries or using alternative compilers to the standard 'cc' | |
| e.g. make CC='cc -arch m68k -arch i386' openstep" will build the libraries | |
| with both intel and motorola architectures. | |
