|---|
| 7 | -------- |
|---|
| 8 | |
|---|
| 9 | The GLV library provides a small, cross-platform, C interface for creating a |
|---|
| 10 | window or fullscreen display with an OpenGL context. It was written for use |
|---|
| 11 | in games and demos as an alternative to larger libraries such as GLUT, SDL, |
|---|
| 12 | GLFW, PLIB, etc. There are no thread, joystick, or timer wrappers here. |
|---|
| 13 | |
|---|
| 14 | The currently supported environments are Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. |
|---|
| 15 | The Linux version is the most complete, while the Mac version is the least |
|---|
| 16 | with no fullscreen support at the moment. |

| 24 | Requirements |
|---|
| 25 | ------------ |
|---|
| 26 | |
|---|
| 27 | OpenGL. The examples use the glu library. |
|---|
| 28 | |
|---|
| 29 | The X11 version is built with the XFree86 XF86VidMode extension by default. |
|---|
| 30 | This can be disabled in the Makefile. Code has been written for the |
|---|
| 31 | Xi Graphics XME fullscreen extension but it has not been tested. |
|---|
| 32 | |
|---|
| 33 | The Windows version has been built with Cygwin and Visual C++ 6 using NMAKE. |
