5 This is the freeglut package.
7 Freeglut, the Free openGL Utility Toolkit, is meant to be a free alter-
8 native to Mark Kilgard's GLUT library. It is distributed under an X-Consor-
9 tium style license (see COPYING for details), to offer you a chance to use
10 and/or modify the source.
12 It makes use of OpenGL, GLU, and pthreads-win32 libraries. The library does
13 not make use of any GLUT code and is not 100% compatible. Code recompilation
14 and/or slight modifications might be required for your applications to work
21 Both X11 and Win32 ports are in an advanced alpha stage, which means that
22 they provide limited functionality of GLUT API 3. There is an investigation
23 en course to check if the BeOS port could be easily done using the current
30 Use the following commands to build from scratch on a *nix X11 platform:
34 libtoolize --copy --force
35 automake --add-missing
40 The first four of these commands are automated in a system script called
47 Bug and missing features patches are certainly welcome. Just as comments
48 and FREEGLUT API 1 propositions are.
50 Just please to make the fixes look visually just as the rest of the code
51 does (tabs converted 4 white spaces). Comments are really welcome, as I
52 believe it would be nice for people fresh new to OpenGL see how the things

57 ==================================
59 Freeglut project has moved to the SourceForge:
60 http://freeglut.sourceforge.net
66 Hope you find my work somehow useful.
67 Pawel W. Olszta, <olszta@sourceforge.net>
73 In late December 2000, Pawel decided that he no longer
74 wished to maintain freeglut because he has moved out of
75 the graphics field. I volunteered to take over from him
76 and have been running the project since Jan 13th 2001.
78 I'm also the author and maintainer of the PLIB library suite
79 and 'freeglut' really fits in well with that work.
81 I just hope I can live up to Pawel's high standards. Pawel
82 remains on the active developers list.
