BRIEF OVERVIEW

This is the freeglut package.

|
|
Freeglut, the Free openGL Utility Toolkit, is meant to be a free alter-
|
|
|
|
|
native to Mark Kilgard's GLUT library. It is distributed under an X-Consor-
|
|
|
|
|
tium style license (see COPYING for details), to offer you a chance to use
|
|
|
|
|
and/or modify the source.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It makes use of OpenGL, GLU, GLib and pthreads-win32 libraries. GLib is
|
|
|
|
|
LGPL'ed and I hope I do not violate it's license by using it. In case this
|
|
|
|
|
is true, please notify me so that I remove GLib usage from the project.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The library does not make use of any GLUT code and is not 100% compatible.
|
|
|
|
|
Code recompilation and/or slight modifications might be required for your
|
|
|
|
|
applications to work with freeglut.

PORTS
|
|
|
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Both X11 and Win32 ports are in an advanced alpha stage, which means that
|
|
|
|
|
they provide limited functionality of GLUT API 3. There is an investigation
|
|
|
|
|
en course to check if the BeOS port could be easily done using the current
|
|
|
|
|
freeglut structure.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See the INSTALL file.

CONTRIBUTING
|
|
|
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bug and missing features patches are certainly welcome. Just as comments
|
|
|
|
|
and FREEGLUT API 1 propositions are.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Just please to make the fixes look visually just as the rest of the code
|
|
|
|
|
does (tabs converted 4 white spaces). Comments are really welcome, as I
|
|
|
|
|
believe it would be nice for people fresh new to OpenGL see how the things
|
|
|
|
|
are done...

PASSING THE BATON
|
|
|
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In late December 2000, Pawel decided that he no longer
|
|
|
|
|
wished to maintain freeglut because he has moved out of
|
|
|
|
|
the graphics field. I volunteered to take over from him
|
|
|
|
|
and have been running the project since Jan 13th 2001.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'm also the author and maintainer of the PLIB library suite
|
|
|
|
|
and 'freeglut' really fits in well with that work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I just hope I can live up to Pawel's high standards. Pawel
|
|
|
|
|
remains on the active developers list.
