- 1. Introduction
- ---------------
-
- This is the README file for the NeXT version of the Mesa library.
- The file consists of information specific to the NeXT version of Mesa.
- For more general information please read the README file in the main Mesa
- directory.
-
- 2. Whats new?
- -------------
-
- See the general Mesa README for all the new items in Mesa-2.0. This
- section will only discuss those items which are specific to the NeXT.
-
- 0.4 Release

- - New demos from the book directory
- - old nextdemoX removed
-
- 0.3 Release
- =========
- - Mesa-2.0 is fixed
-
- 0.2 Release
- =========
- - Some tk functions are now supported.
- - minor bugs are corrected.
-
- 0.1 Release
- =========
- - Off-Screen rendering buffer is read by NXBitmapImageRep function.
- - 32bpp is directly supported.
- - WIDTH and HEIGHT are staticly defined.
- - The window style is NX_TITLEDSTYLE.
- - NeXT demos are straightforward ports of some book/ files.
-
-
- 3. The Distribution
- -------------------
-
- NeXT Mesa is distributed in one form. This should make it easier to only
- download what you need. The package is as follows:
-
- Mesa-2.0.tar.gz
-
- This release contains the complete source to Mesa for the NeXT
-
- 4. Documentation
- ----------------
-
- There is a Mesa WWW page: http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~brianp/Mesa.html
-
- There is a general WWW page related to OpenGL under NeXTSTEP:
- http://wwwcip.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/user/tsengel/
-
- 5. Compiling Mesa
- ----------------
-
- In order to compile NeXT Mesa you need the following items:
-
- NEXTSTEP Developper Kit Release 3.3
- NeXT Mesa-2.0 (source)
-
- The project files included with the NeXT Mesa source should work
- fine. The only things you may need to update are the access paths.
- Simply typing "make next" should compile Mesa and a number of NeXT demo
- programs found in the NeXT/ directory. This was tested on a i386,m68k running
- NEXTSTEP 3.3.
-
- 6. Test suite
- -------------
-
- The NeXT version of Mesa does not pass many of the tests in the
- demos or samples suites. This is primarily due to dependencies in the
- suites on the size of particular X fonts, and other X related features. We
- will be working on developping a more general NeXT suite for Mesa under
- the NeXT, but for now, you will not be able to pass many of the tests.
- It is, however, much better than the alpha release!
-
-
- 6. NeXT Mesa Mailing List
- -----------------------------
- if uou want to subscribe to the Mesa mailing list., please send the following
- message to the address listproc@iqm.unicamp.br
-
- subs mesa <your name>

- For example:
-
- subs mesa Pascal Thibaudeau
-
- You will receive a welcome message from the list server when you have been
- added to the list. It tells you how to post messages to the list, how
- to unsubscribe, etc. Thanks to Pedro Vazquez for setting up the list.
