As these systems have their own window handling +systems we simply use the offscreen rendering capability of Mesa +to generate bitmaps which may then be displayed by the application +with a View as required. Example pieces of code may be found in the +OpenStep directory. + +Sadly there are now a proliferation of different system that we need to +support compilation for: The original NextStep system, The OpenStep +system, the Rhapsody/Mac OS X system and also the windows implementations +of the latter two systems. This version of the code has been compiled and +tested under the following architectures: + + NextStep 3.3 + OpenStep 4.2 + Rhapsody DR2 + WebObjects for NT 3.5 + WebObjects for NT 4.0 + +All tests were done with Intel processors. Feedback on other systems would, +however, be appreciated ! + +On UNIX systems simply type "make openstep". Under Windows systems +with WebObjects run the "win32-openstep.sh" script from within the Bourne +shell provided with the development environment. In both cases this will +build the libraries and place them into the "lib" directory. Some examples +may be found in the OpenStep directory showing how to use the code in an +actual application (MesaView) as well as some command line demos. + +The CC variable may be specified on the command line for doing such things +as building FFAT libraries or using alternative compilers to the standard 'cc' +e.g. make CC='cc -arch m68k -arch i386' openstep" will build the libraries +with both intel and motorola architectures. + +-Pete French.
