Downloading EZWGL 1.40




Obtaining EZWGL

The EZWGL distribution consists of several compressed tar files.

The latest version is always available from here.

Oliver Bedford maintains a rpm distribution for EZWGL. You can find the relevent rpms here.


Unpacking EZWGL Distribution

After downloading the distribution EZWGL-1.40-src.tgz or EZWGL-latest.tgz, unpack the archive using the command
       gzip -dc EZWGL-1.40-src.tgz | tar xvf -
This will create a directory EZWGL-1.40. Change to this directory.


Compling EZWGL

First, you need to browse over Makefile and modify it for your system. EZWGL needs gcc to compile. Then use the command
         make shared
to build a shared library or use the command
         make static
to build a static library. Both commands compile the examples also.


Installing EZWGL

Installing the library in a public place needs root priviledge.

After compiling the library, use one of the following command

make install-shared
make install-static

to install the library and the header file EZ.h.

If you install the shared library in your home directory, you'll have to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment accordingly so that the loader can find it.
