- If you want to use GLUT but your system lacks OpenGL, you an obtain the
- "freeware" Mesa 3-D graphics library.
-
- Mesa is a 3-D graphics library with an API which is very similar to
- that of OpenGL (OpenGL is a registered trademark of Silicon Graphics,
- Inc). To the extent that Mesa utilizes the OpenGL command syntax or
- state machine, it is being used with authorization from Silicon
- Graphics, Inc. Mesa is written by Brian Paul (brianp@elastic.avid.com)
- of Avid Technologies.
-
- You can find out more about Mesa from:

-
- Mesa was originally designed for Unix/X11 systems and is still best
- supported on those systems. All you need is an ANSI C compiler and the
- X develoment files to use Mesa.
-
- Others have contributed drivers for the Amiga, Apple Macintosh, NeXT,
- OS/2, and Windows 95/NT. See the README file included with the Mesa
- distribution for more details.
