libQGLViewer installation

libQGLViewer can easily be installed on many architectures. It was successfully installed on Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, SGI IRIX, HP UX, IBM AIX, SUN Solaris, Alpha and QNX. Let me know if you encountered any problem, so that I update these pages, or if you compiled it on another architecture.

libQGLViewer is distributed under the terms of the GNU-GPL license and is distributed as-is with no guarantee. Other licences may be available for specific applications.

libQGLViewer installation

Select your target architecture :   linux         mac         windows

Previous versions of the library as well as md5 check sums are available in the source repository.

Pre-compiled binaries

The library and some of the examples are provided as binaries so that you can directly try the library. Note however that inconsistencies in depending library versions may lead to problems when running the examples, and you should always compile the library and the examples for an optimal result.

linux   Follow these steps to try the pre-compiled binary examples :
tar -xzf libQGLViewer-examples-linux.tar.gz
cd libQGLViewer-examples-linux
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:.  (use setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $LD_LIBRARY_PATH:. with tcsh)
simpleViewer
If a library is not found, install it or/and add its path in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Use ldd the_example_name to see library dependencies and their resolution.

The examples were compiled on a Mandrake 10.1 system. You can also get the Mandrake 9.1 or Fedora Core 2 versions. Re-compile from the sources for best compatibility. You need to have Qt 3 installed.



mac   Essentially identical as for Linux: download libQGLViewer-examples-mac.tar.gz, and tune DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH instead of LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Compiled using darwin and X11.

windows   The binaries were compiled using the free Qt 2.3 version with Visual Studio 6. Download and unzip libQGLViewer-examples-win.zip.
