1 This is a port of the GL and GLU libraries to NeXT/Apple object 2 orientated systems. As these systems have their own window handling 3 systems we simply use the offscreen rendering capability of Mesa 4 to generate bitmaps which may then be displayed by the application 5 with a View as required. Example pieces of code may be found in the 6 OpenStep directory. 7 8 Sadly there are now a proliferation of different system that we need to 9 support compilation for: The original NextStep system, The OpenStep 10 system, the Rhapsody/Mac OS X system and also the windows implementations 11 of the latter two systems. This version of the code has been compiled and 12 tested under the following architectures: 13 14 NextStep 3.3 15 OpenStep 4.2 16 Rhapsody DR2 17 WebObjects for NT 3.5 18 WebObjects for NT 4.0 19 20 All tests were done with Intel processors. Feedback on other systems would, 21 however, be appreciated ! 22 23 On UNIX systems simply type "make openstep". Under Windows systems 24 with WebObjects run the "win32-openstep.sh" script from within the Bourne 25 shell provided with the development environment. In both cases this will 26 build the libraries and place them into the "lib" directory. Some examples 27 may be found in the OpenStep directory showing how to use the code in an 28 actual application (MesaView) as well as some command line demos. 29 30 The CC variable may be specified on the command line for doing such things 31 as building FFAT libraries or using alternative compilers to the standard 'cc' 32 e.g. make CC='cc -arch m68k -arch i386' openstep" will build the libraries 33 with both intel and motorola architectures. 34 35 -Pete French.
