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, and pthreads-win32 libraries. 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
|
2013-02-27 14:07:26 +02:00
|
|
|
they provide limited functionality of GLUT API 3. A somewhat more
|
|
|
|
|
limited port (mostly due to limits of the OS) to Andriod is now also
|
|
|
|
|
available.

Bug and missing features patches are certainly welcome. Just as comments
|
2013-02-27 14:07:26 +02:00
|
|
|
and FREEGLUT API propositions are.
|
2001-07-27 07:35:54 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
