<h2>Installing Linux development kit:</h2>
 Package name is gCAD3D-devel-1.28.tar.gz. 

Required software packages: 
  gcc-4 .. - Compiler 
  libgtk+2.0_0-devel-..    - Compiler 
  libgtk +2.0 _0-devel-..  - for Gtk functions 
  libgtkglarea2.0-devel-.. - for OpenGL functions 

 Move package to base directory for installation: You have to copy
it into the gCAD3D basic installation directory; 
 the base directory is normally ~ 
  mv gCAD3D-devel-1.28.tar.gz ~/gCAD3D/. 
  cd ~/gCAD3D 

 Uncompress package (makes gCAD3D1.26.tar): 
  gunzip gCAD3D-devel-1.28.tar.gz 

 Inspect content of package: 
  tar tvf gCAD3D-devel-1.28.tar 

 Extract package: 
  tar xvf gCAD3D-devel-1.28.tar

<h2>Installing the development package for MS-Windows:</h2>
 Package name is gCAD3D-devel-1.26.zip. 

Required software packages:
  a compiler, such as Visual Studio Express. 

 The package contains - - 
  - all necessary Gtk+ include files and libs, 
  - GTK toolbox with examples (sources and makefiles) 
  - some gCAD3D-demo -plugins (sources and makefiles) 
  - all include files gCAD3D 


 You have to copy it into the gCAD3D basic installation directory,

 the base directory is normally &quot;C:\Program Files\gCAD3D&quot;
   or &quot;C:\Program Files\gCAD3D&quot; 
   Unpack the zipfile. 



 You will need a command shell with the correct compiler environment 
  For VC8 you can use the Visual Studio Command Window or cmd.exe plus: 
   &quot;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat&quot; 

  For VC9 (Visual Studio 2008) you can use: 
   &quot;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat&quot; x86 
   test it with &quot;cl /?&quot;. 



 Test link of a test program or add-on library: 
  open command shell (CMD.EXE ) 
  cd C:\Program Files\gCAD3D\gtk
  nmake-f tst_gtk0.nmak 



 Runtime link: 
  start gCAD3D from command shell (CMD.EXE) to see messages 
  activate checkbox Options / compile_DLL 's in gCAD3D, 
  activate a DDL (select &quot;DemoXX&quot; in upper right) 
  the selected DLL will be compiled, linked, started 
  (see text window for errors)

<h2>Development - Documentation:</h2>
<b>Linux:</b>
  Display from a command shell: 
  firefox ~/gCAD3D/devdoc/index.htm

<h2>Creation of new plug-ins:</h2>

 The required compiler must be installed.
 A source program ({progname}.c) and a Link job ({progname}.mak) are required
  (MS-Win: {progname}.nmak). 

 Examples: {baseDir}/Demo*.c, Demo*.mak  (MS: Demo*.nmak).


 With "Options/compile_DLLs" on, a plugin is unloaded at runtime,
 recompiled, relinked and reloaded. 

 Documentation:

 or devdoc/pag_pd1.htm in the development-package.
