+wxWidgets for MGL installation
+------------------------------
IMPORTANT NOTE:
+ wxMGL is currently in need of some work to bring it up to the
+ standard of some of the other wxWidgets ports.
+
If you experience problems installing, please re-read these
instructions and other related files (todo.txt, bugs.txt and
osname.txt for your platform if it exists) carefully before
mailing wxwin-users or the author. Preferably, try to fix the
problem first and then send a patch to the author.

- When sending bug reports tell us what version of wxWidgets you are
- using (including the beta) and what compiler on what system. One
- example: wxMGL 2.6.2, gcc 2.95.3, Redhat 7.0

First steps

-- Download SciTech MGL library (version 5.0) from http://www.scitechsoft.com.

Install MGL according to provided instructions. In particular, make sure that
MGL_ROOT and NUCLEUS_PATH environment variables are set before attempting to
build wxMGL.
Make sure you installed all MGL components, including the "fonts" package

+ Arial TrueType font for better output quality) and basic cursors in
$(MGL_ROOT)/cursors. wxMGL depends on their presence.
- Download wxMGL-x.y.z.tgz, where x.y.z is the version number.
- Make a directory such as ~/wx and unarchive the files into this
directory.
-- It is recommended that you install bison and flex; using yacc
- and lex may require tweaking of the makefiles.
-
- You can now use configure or makefiles to build wxWidgets and the samples.
In case of problems, please use GNU make.

These instructions apply to installation on a Unix system (such as Linux). Please
-see bellow for information on using configure on non-Unix platforms.

+Compilation notes for MGL with gcc
+----------------------------------
The mvis library doesn't compile with current versions of gcc. However wxMGL
does not use this part of MGL, so it can be taken out of the compile, e.g.:
