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

$(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

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.:
