     On some OpenGL implementations, you migth have some troubles, coming from
     the <GL/glext.h> file, to get NeL to compile. This file could be missing
     or not up to date. You will find the latest version of this file on SGI's
     website :

     Most of our documentation is done using Doxygen, so you might need it
     to read our prose and our code documentation. If you want have nice
     graphs like dependency graphs, collaboration diagrams, or graphical
     class hierarchy graphs you will need Graphviz :

     The given sofware or library version numbers are the ones that we are

       The compilation on Windows has been done only with Visual C++ 6.0 SP4.       The compilation on Windows has been done only with Visual C++ 6.0 SP4.
  
        You first need to compile STLport and FreeType libraries. It's a quite
        long compilation process, and you should carefully read these libraries
        documentation (at least the README and INSTALL files) before compiling
        and installing them.
  
        STLport Compilation :
  
           - Open a Dos window and go in the STLPort's src directory.
  
           - Rename or copy the "vc6-unicode.mak" to "Makefile".
  
           - Execute `nmake clean all` followed by `nmake install`.
  
        FreeType compilation, by using GNU Make :
  
           - You need to intall GNU make and to place it in the PATH.
  
             <URL:http://ftpsearch.lycos.com/swadv/AdvResults.asp?query=gnumake-win32>
  
           - Open a Dos window and go in the FreeType's directory.
  
           - Execute `make setup visualc' followed by `make`.
  
        FreeType compilation, by using an IDE :
  
           - Compile every (base and optionnal) library components listed
             at the end of the FreeType's INSTALL file.
  
       Set up Visual C++ to find the STLPort and FreeType libraries. This       Set up Visual C++ to find the STLPort and FreeType libraries. This
       is done in the [Tools -> Options -> Directories] menu :       is done in the [Tools -> Options -> Directories] menu :
  
          - Add the STLPort include directory to the "Library Files" category.          - Add the STLPort include directory to the "Library Files" category.
             The STLPort include *must* be inserted before the microsoft one or
             the compiler will take microsoft STL instead of STLPort STL.
             (use the arrow button to put the STLPort include at the top)
            ex: D:/stlport-4.0/stlport            ex: D:/stlport-4.0/stlport

         "configure" script and/or the "Makefile.in" files, execute the
         "bootstrap" script in the NeL directory :

           % ./configure --with-stlport=<Path_to_the_stlport_install_directory>

       The "configure" script must be call with the "--with-stlport" option.       The "configure" script must be call with the "--with-stlport".
       This option permit to override the default STL headers.       The option "--with-stlport" allow to override the default STL headers
