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 2.8.0, gcc 2.95.3, Redhat 7.0 - -First steps ------------ - -- Download SciTech MGL library from http://www.scitechsoft.com. The - downloads page is here (you need MGL version 5.0beta7 or newer): - http://scitechsoft.com/products/dev/mgl_download/mgl_down.html - - 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 - (it's called mgl_-font.tar.gz in Linux version). It is important to have - SciTech's basic fonts in $(MGL_ROOT)/fonts directory (you may want to add - 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. - Download documentation in a preferred format, such as - wxWidgets-HTML.zip or wxWidgets-PDF.zip. - -- Make a directory such as ~/wx and unarchive the files into this - directory. - -- You can now use configure or makefiles to build wxWidgets and the samples. - In case of problems, please use GNU make. - - -COMPILING -========= - -Following systems are supported by wxMGL so far: - - Unix (Linux etc.) - - MS-DOS (DJGPP and Watcom compilers) - - -* Compiling using configure ----------------------------- - -These instructions apply to installation on a Unix system (such as Linux). Please -see below for information on using configure on non-Unix platforms. - -If you compile wxWidgets on Linux for the first time and don't like to read -install instructions just do (in the base dir): - -> ./configure --with-mgl -> make -> su -> make install -> ldconfig -> exit - -Afterwards you can continue with - -> make -> su -> make install -> ldconfig -> exit - -If you want to remove wxWidgets on Unix you can do this: - -> su -> make uninstall -> ldconfig -> exit - -You can set many options to configure. Type - -> ./configure --help - -and you will get a list of supported options. - - -* Using wxMGL library built with configure -------------------------------------------- - -'make install' will install wx-config script that can (and should) be used -to get compiler flags that are needed to build your program. wx-config --cxxflags -will output necessary C++ compiler flags and wx-config --libs will list all -needed libraries. See an example of wxWidgets application makefile: - -minimal: minimal.o - $(CC) -o minimal minimal.o `wx-config --libs` - -minimal.o: minimal.cpp mondrian.xpm - $(CC) `wx-config --cxxflags` -c minimal.cpp -o minimal.o - - -* Using configure to build MS-DOS version ------------------------------------------- - -Even though configure is a Unix script, you can use it to build MS-DOS version -of the wxMGL library. There are two possible ways to achieve this: you can -either cross-compile from Unix or compile natively. Either way you will needed -the DJGPP port of GCC compiler freely available from: - http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/getting.html - -Scitech MGL must be compiled natively, and to do this you will need to download -the following files (from the current/v2 and current/v2gnu directories).
