Gtk2::GLExt version 0.90 ======================== The Gtk2::GLExt module allows a Perl developer to use GtkGLExt, an OpenGL extension to GTK+ by Naofumi Yasufuku (°ÂÊ¡ ¾°Ê¸), with Gtk2-Perl. Like the Gtk2 module on which it depends, Gtk2::GLExt follows the C API of gtkglext as closely as possible while still being perlish. Thus, the C API reference remains the canonical documentation. You can find out everything you need to know about GtkGLExt at its homepage, http://gtkglext.sourceforge.net This module does not include actual OpenGL bindings; you need to get those separately. Search CPAN for OpenGL, SDL::OpenGL, and PDL::Graphics::OpenGL; your mileage may vary. To discuss gtk2-perl, ask questions and flame/praise the authors, join gtk-perl-list@gnome.org at lists.gnome.org. Also have a look at the gtk2-perl website and sourceforge project page, http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install To avoid installing to a system directory, since this is a beta release, you can change the installation prefix at Makefile.PL time with perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/some/other/place This will install the module to the subdirectory lib/perl5 under the given prefix. If this is not already in perl's include path, you'll need to tell perl how to get to this library directory so you can use it; there are three ways: in your environment (the easiest): # assuming a bourne-style shell PERL5LIB=/some/other/place/lib/perl5/site_perl export PERL5LIB on the perl command line: perl -I /some/other/place/lib/perl5/site_perl yourscript in the code of your perl script: use lib '/some/other/place/lib/perl5/site_perl'; DEPENDENCIES This module requires these other modules and libraries: perl >= 5.8.0 Glib >= 1.060 (perl module and requisite C libraries) Gtk2 >= 1.060 (perl module and requisite C libraries) gtkglext > 1.0 (C library) In order to build it from source, you'll also need ExtUtils::Depends >= 0.2 ExtUtils::PkgConfig >= 1.00 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE Copyright (C) 2003 by the gtk2-perl team (see the file AUTHORS for a complete list) This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Library General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
