I am trying to install FreeWRL-1.04 on my FC1 computer. I have
downloaded it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/freewrl/
I am needing to make changes to the vrml.conf file before installing. I
am pretty new to linux and do not understand much of this. I have
searched all over the internet for days looking for help on how to do
this and can't find what I need. Some of it I have been able to figure
out as it mostly has to do with where things live on my computer. I hope
someone here will be able to give me some guidance...
In vrml.conf there is a section on saxon:
############################################################################
# Saxon location - required for x3d running.
SAXON_LOC => '/usr/local/src/saxon/saxon.jar',
############################################################################
I am totally lost on this. I am not sure what saxon is and I do not find
saxon.jar anywhere on my computer. Do I need to install it? Where would
one find it? I do find some saxon things on my computer: saxon643.jar,
saxon644.jar, saxon65.jar, saxon651.jar they are all in
/usr/share/sgml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets-1.61.2-2.1/extensions. Would any
of them be what I need?
The other part I don't understand is dealing with OpenGL:
############################################################################
# Main defines for OpenGL, libjpeg, libpng, and freetype
#
# to use OpenGL Display lists, add -DDLIST to the FREEWRL_DEFINE line.
#
# if you want different texture/material property, add
# -DX3DMATERIALPROPERTY
# to the FREEWRL_INC line
#
# if you want to be able to root window on Xfree86 version 4 - add
# -DXF86V4
# to the FREEWRL_INC line, and
# -lXxf86vm
# to the FREEWRL_LIBS line
FREEWRL_LIBS => '-L/usr/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lGL -lGLU -lXext
-lX11 -lfreetype -lpng -lz -ljpeg',
FREEWRL_DEFINE => '-DXP_UNIX -D_GNU_SOURCE',
FREEWRL_INC => '-I/usr/X11R6/include/ -I/usr/include/freetype2
-I/usr/include/freetype2/freetype',
############################################################################
It would be really great if someone could explain to me in ordinary
English what this means. What is this part going? I am using Peter
Backlund's kernel module nvidia drivers and all seems well there (I have
no trouble with tuxracer or glxgears).
Not sure if I need to do this:
# to use OpenGL Display lists, add -DDLIST to the FREEWRL_DEFINE line.
Somehow I *think* I want to do this:
# if you want to be able to root window on Xfree86 version 4 - add
# -DXF86V4
# to the FREEWRL_INC line, and
# -lXxf86vm
# to the FREEWRL_LIBS line
but I'm not sure since I don't know what it means :)
Thanks for any help you can offer!
