required packages for linux/unix

• a C++ compiler, such as g++.
• an openGL implementation. if your operating system does not support it natively, you can use mesa, the open source openGL workalike. mesa is available for download from:

  http://www.mesa3d.org/download.html

• libjpeg, the independent jpeg group's jpeg library. most linux distros come with this. if you don't have it (the configure script will tell you), see:

  http://www.ijg.org/
  ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/

• a Motif implementation. if Motif is not available on your OS, you can use the free gnu implementation, lesstif (tested with 0.89.4); see:

  http://www.lesstif.org/download.html

• a posix-compliant unix build environment. i'm sorry, i just can't be bothered to port to every oddball flavour of unix anymore. if you don't support posix.1, you're on your own.
• if building from CVS update, you will need the autoconf package. most linux distros come with this, or you can download it from http://www.gnu.org/.
• optional: yacc & lex (or bison & flex). without them, you can still compile this package, but you will not be able to modify the VRML parser.

required packages for win32

to build this package for win32, you will need:

• windows95 OSR2, windows 98 or windows NT 4.0. The original release of windows95 does not support openGL, so unless you see an "OpenGL32.DLL" in your windows system directory, you'll probably have to go to microsoft's site and download their software implementation (which leaves a lot to be desired in the performance department).
• microsoft visual C++ 6.0. earlier versions may work, but the project file was generated from v6.0. i haven't tried building this project to other compilers on win32 (such as cygwin32 or borland); if you manage to get it working please let me know.
• libjpeg, the Independent JPEG Group's jpeg library. This must be compiled as a DLL. A makefile and distribution pre-configured to build jpeg.dll should be available from the same place that you got this package.
• optional: yacc & lex (or bison & flex). without them, you can still compile this package, but you will not be able to modify the VRML and resource file parsers. I recommend the cygnus gnu win32 tools, available from

  http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/download.html.

build instructions for unix:

if you are building dune from a CVS update, you must first create the configure file:

% autoconf

% ./configure

% make

% ./dune

build instructions for win32:

open the "dune.dsw" workspace, and select "rebuild all" from the "build" menu. copy the appropriate jpeg.dll into the same directory as the executable (ie., if you built the debug version, copy the debug version of JPEG.DLL into the debug directory). run it.
