INTRODUCTION

    These notes briefly describe the structure of the OpenGL|Performer (TM)
    source tree and how it can be built.

    For the latest news concerning OpenGL|Performer (TM) please consult the
    following URL:

    or

TREE STRUCTURE

    The source tree containing the OpenGL|Performer (TM) source is 
    structured as follows:
       src/
           conv/    - Convertion utilities
           lib/     - Inventor database, interaction, and nodekit source
           pguide/  - Sample programs from the Performer Programming Guide
           sample/  - sample programs and examples
           tools/   - various porting and conversion scripts

    On IRIX:
    This source tree is identical to what is shipped under
    /usr/share/Performer/src in the Performer development distribution.

    On Linux:
    This source code in this tree is identical to what is shipped
    under /usr/share/Performer/src in the Performer development
    distribution.  The Makefiles, however, have been renamed so as
    to not conflict with the IRIX makefiles.  In the future, both
    IRIX and Linux will use the same makefiles.

DEPENDENCIES

    The source in its current form will compile on IRIX and Linux i386.

    Currently the only dependencies include OpenGL(R) and X11R6, 
    Motif(R) 1.2x, and an existing installation of the OpenGL Performer 
    development package.


BUILDING THE TREE

	1) Set the environment variable PFROOT to point to the root
	   directory of where this source is located.

		setenv PFROOT `pwd`

	2) The makefiles will look for pfcommondefs and pfcommonrules in
	   $(PFROOT)/usr/share/Performer/src/.  Create a usr/share/Performer
	   directory:

		mkdir -p usr/share/Performer

	3) Make a symlink to this directory so that there exists a valid
	   $(PFROOT)/usr/share/Performer/src/.

		ln -s -f ../../../src  usr/share/Performer/src

	4) Change to the src/ directory:

		cd src

	5) Make the examples:

		make dso
