This directory and its subdirectories contains the OpenGL Utility
Toolkit (GLUT) distribution.  See the NOTICE for legal terms.

VERSION:

Release 3.0, February 24, 1996.

SUPPORTED MACHINES:

This distribution should compile for:

  o  DEC Alpha workstation running OSF/1 and OpenVMS with Open3D
     layered product.

  o  IBM RS/6000 workstations running AIX with OpenGL support.

  o  Metro Link's Metro OpenGL for Linux.

  o  SGI workstation running IRIX 5.2 or higher supporting OpenGL,
     including 64-bit and N32 support IRIX 6.1 and 6.2.

  o  Template Graphics Software's OpenGL for Sun workstations.

  o  Mesa 1.2 (and 1.1) for Unix workstations, including Linux PCs
     and SunOS 4.1.x.

MAKEFILE GENERATION TO BUILD GLUT:     <-- IMPORTANT!

Use mkmkfiles.sgi to put Makefiles using the SGI Makefile conventions
in place.  Use mkmkfiles.imake to put Makefiles generated from
Imakefiles in place.  Run one of these two commands in this directory,
then do a "make".

anonymous ftp accompanying this distribution.

SHAMELESS BUT HOPEFULLY HELPFUL PLUG:

Since November 1994, The X Journal carries a column on OpenGL that I
write.  Each column uses GLUT for the examples.  If you are looking to
learn about OpenGL, this may be a good place.  The X Journal (ISSN
1056-7003) is published six times per year, bimonthly by SIGS
Publications, 71 West 23rd St, 3rd floor, NY, NY 10010, 212-242-7447.
Subscription rates - one year (six issues) individual:  $39 domestic;

BUG REPORTING:

Send bug reports by electronic mail to mjk@sgi.com

Questions of a general interest about GLUT will be answered on the
comp.graphics.api.opengl newsgroup.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:

Much thanks to OpenGL engineers at DEC, IBM, Metro Link, Microsoft, SGI,
Sun, and TGS as well as Brian Paul from the University of Wisconsin for
helping me ensure the portability of this code to non-SGI graphics
platforms.  Also thank you to GLUT users who supplied me with feedback
and bug fixes.
