Installing QGLViewer: ===================== unzip the file and put it in a directory. Be sure to have your QTDIR environment variable pointed to your local Qt installation. Installing using configure: --------------------------- Just as usual with configure scripts a simple ./configure && make && make install should give you an installed viewer. Try ./configure --help to learn about optional configuration items, you will like the '--prefix' and perhaps the '--with-qt=DIR' one. Note that you need to have GNU make available, which may be installed as gmake on your system. Installation using tmake: ------------------------- tmake can be obtained from www.troll.no as public software (latest version is 1.6). Change directory to the directory where you placed the source directories. To generate the Makefiles using tmake launch the supplied install-tmake.sh (or the install-tmake.bat one if you happen to run NT) script: ./install-tmake.sh or alternatively create the makefiles manually tmake -o Makefile qglviewer.pro tmake -o src/Makefile src/src.pro tmake -o examples/Makefile examples/example.pro cd examples && make tmake_all && cd .. Finally, build the library and the example program (you might also use nmake or gmake depending on your system configuration): make Installation with Windows: -------------------------- The only way to use QGLViewer with Windows is to compile using the tmake Makefiles. Proceed as noted above and use the install-tmake.bat script. Of course you need to have tmake (and thus perl) and Qt installed on your system and environment variables set to the appropriate paths. Note that for QGLViewer to work as expected you need to turn on exception handling and RTTI support within your compiler, at best include the necessary switches in your tmake config (its the /GR and /GX flags for MSVC).
