COMPILING and INSTALLING: please see the README file. NB: you will need pkgconfig package (available for debian and for redhat - try www.rpmfind.net if you're lost, or go to the pkgconfig website: http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/ ) if your are taking this from CVS and having to run ./autogen.sh) NOTE: for compilation with MinGW, fnmatch.h is probably missing. That file can be found here: http://www.koders.com/c/fid2B518462CB1EED3D4E31E271DB83CD1582F6EEBE.aspx It should be installed in the mingw include directory. NOTE: for the OpenGL engine on Windows, the glew library: http://glew.sourceforge.net/ is needed.
