  --with-gl-includedir=DIR  OpenGL (Mesa) headers are in DIR [default=auto]
  --with-gl-libdir=DIR      OpenGL (Mesa) libraries are in DIR [default=auto]

Debug options

  --enable-debug=[no/minimum/yes] turn on debugging [default=minimum]

Window system options

  --with-gdktarget=[x11/win32] select GDK target

Auto-generation files options

  --disable-rebuilds      disable all source autogeneration rules

Building the CVS Version of GtkGLExt
====================================

GtkGLExt's SourceForge CVS repository can be checked out through
anonymous (pserver) CVS with the following instruction set.
When prompted for a password for anonymous, simply press the Enter key. 

  $ cvs \
      -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gtkglext \
      login
  $ cvs -z3 \
      -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gtkglext \
      co -r gtkglext-X-Y gtkglext

  (gtkglext-X-Y is a branch name. e.g. gtkglext-1-0 is 1.0.x branch.)

When you are at work on the CVS version of GtkGLExt, you can use autogen.sh
for generating configure script and Makefiles.

  $ env ACLOCAL_FLAGS='-I /pkgconfig/share/aclocal -I /gtk/share/aclocal' \
        ./autogen.sh --prefix=${HOME}/gtkglext \
                     --enable-debug=yes
  $ make
  $ make install
  $ make examples

You may have to set ACLOCAL_FLAGS environment variable for some m4
macros used in configure.in.

The following versions of the GNU autotools are required.

  autoconf 2.54 and above
  automake 1.7.x
  libtool  1.5
