- 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, 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
- 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.
-
-
- INSTALLATION
- ============
-
- 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...

- THE HOPE

- 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.
