Version 0.9

Autostereo is designed for software developers to package with their
applications so that multiple applications can cooperatively switch the
video output format on SGI workstations to stereo and back.  Only
standard OpenGL stereo (quad-buffered) is supported.  The client
library is written in ISO C and should work on any platform.  Patches
are welcome.

LICENSING

This software is "Open Source" with a BSD-style copyright.  See
Copyright.html for details.

INSTALLATION

Precompiled IRIX binaries come with the distribution so that "make
install" will install them in /usr/local/lib, /usr/local/sbin, and
/usr/local/man.  You may change the locations by changing the make
PREFIX variable in the Makefiles (just the toplevel Makefile if you
only do your makes there).

The provided autostereod daemon needs a recent C++ runtime to run.  If
you are running an older version of IRIX 6.5, the new C++ runtime is
available from http://support.sgi.com/irix/ as patch 3742.

Note: applications that are distributed with autostereo support should
install a copy the autostereod daemon as part of their installation
process.  See autostereo(3) for details.

RECOMPILING

The Makefiles are designed for the SGI C++ and C compilers.  The
library is written in standard C and is known to compile on SGI IRIX,
Compaq Tru64, and RedHat Linux.  The daemon is written in standard C++
with the IRIX video extensions. It compiles with the SGI 7.2 C++ compiler,
and should compile with gcc-3.0, but I have not tried it.
