        !            38: DEPENDENCIES
        !            39:
        !            40: 	The source in its current form will compile on IRIX, Linux ix86/ia64,
        !            41: 	and Apple Darwin (Mac OS X).
        !            42:
        !            43: 	Currently the only dependencies include OpenGL (R), X11R6, and
        !            44: 	Motif (R) 1.2x.  See the FAQ file for more detailed information.

        !            46:
        !            47: BUILDING THE TREE
        !            48:
        !            49: 	1) Set the environment variable IVROOT to point to the root directory
        !            50: 	   for the installed libraries and binaries, e.g.
        !            51:
        !            52: 		setenv IVROOT /usr/local/src
        !            53:
        !            54: 	2) Append the DSO installation directory to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
        !            55: 	   environment variable, i.e.
        !            56:
        !            57: 		setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH":$IVROOT/usr/lib
        !            58:
        !            59: 	   On Apple Darwin (Mac OS X), use DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH instead.
        !            60:
        !            61: 	3) The source code is compiled with optimization enabled by default.
        !            62: 	   To create debug libraries, enter:
        !            63:
        !            64: 		setenv LIBTYPE debug
        !            65:
        !            66: 	4) To use the FreeType interface instead of the default font library,
        !            67: 	   enter:
        !            68:
        !            69: 		setenv FREETYPE 1
        !            70:
        !            71: 	5) Type 'gmake install' in the directory where the source code was
        !            72: 	   unpacked.
        !            73:
        !            74: 	6) To use the default font library, run the linkType1.sh script in
        !            75: 	   libFL/src as root.  Type1 PFA font files must already exist in
        !            76: 	   /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1.
        !            77:
        !            78: 	   To use the FreeType interface, set the FL_FONT_PATH environment
        !            79: 	   variable to the directory where TrueType fonts are installed
        !            80: 	   (defaults to /usr/share/data/fonts) and run the linkTrueType.sh
        !            81: 	   script in libFL/freetype as root.
        !            82:
        !            83:
        !            84: INSTALLATION TREE STRUCTURE
        !            85:
        !            86: 	When typing 'gmake install' the files generated during the
        !            87: 	build will end up in the following locations:
        !            88:
        !            89: 		$(IVROOT)/usr/bin		- executables (e.g. ivview)
        !            90: 		$(IVROOT)/usr/include/Inventor	- include files (.h)
        !            91: 		$(IVROOT)/usr/lib		- shared libraries (.so)
        !            92: 		$(IVROOT)/usr/lib/InventorDebug	- debug shared libraries (.so)
        !            93: 		$(IVROOT)/usr/man		- man pages
        !            94: 		$(IVROOT)/usr/share/data	- 3D models
        !            95: 		$(IVROOT)/usr/demos/Inventor	- miscellaneous SGI demos
        !            96:
        !            97:
        !            98: THANKS
        !            99:
        !           100: 	Special thanks goes out to all the original Open Inventor
        !           101: 	developers, especially Paul Strauss and Gavin Bell for
        !           102: 	graciously agreeing to act in an ongoing advisory capacity
        !           103: 	at this exciting moment in Open Inventor's history.
        !           104:
        !           105: 	We would also like to thank Chris Insinger and Jenny Zhao
        !           106: 	for their unwavering support and persistence.  Without them
        !           107: 	this open source project would not have happened.
