<!--
The installer allows you to evaluate the library from its demonstration examples and its documentation and to start creating your own programs.
The library and the examples were here compiled using (and can be used with) MinGW and the open source version of Qt.
<p><a href="http://www.libqglviewer.com/src/libQGLViewer-installer.exe" onclick="javascript: _gaq.push(['_trackPageview', 'libQGLViewer-installer.exe']);" class="download">

This source code is released under the GPL license. If you are using libQGLViewer in a
commercial application, you need to purchase a <a href="mailto:contact@libqglviewer.com?Subject=Commercial license">libQGLViewer commercial license</a>.
<h2>Compilation from the sources</h2>
Make sure your Qt installation is up to date and running. Try building one of the Qt OpenGL examples first.
<p>
Then download and unzip <a href="http://www.libqglviewer.com/src/libQGLViewer-2.8.0.zip" onclick="javascript: _gaq.push(['_trackPageview', 'libQGLViewer-2.8.0.zip']);">libQGLViewer-2.8.0.zip</a>.
</p>
Depending on your environment:
<ul>
<li><a name="qtcreator"></a><b>QtCreator</b>: open the <code>QGLViewer/QGLViewer.pro</code> project file and "build all".</li>
<li><a name="mingw"></a><b>MinGW</b> (available when you install the OpenSource Qt version):
launch the <i>Qt Command Prompt</i> from the <i>Start</i> menu and type:
<pre>
cd \path\to\libQGLViewer-2.8.0\QGLViewer
qmake
mingw32-make
</pre></li>
<li>
<a name="qtVisual"></a>
<b>Visual Studio</b>: install the Qt Visual Studio add-in, open <code>QGLViewer/QGLViewer.pro</code> and build the solution<span class="redStar">*</span>.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Then copy the generated <code>QGLViewer2.dll</code> and <code>QGLViewer2d.dll</code> to a system
shared directory such as <code>C:\Windows\System32</code>. An alternative is to copy the <code>dll</code> in every executable's directory.
<p>
See the <a href="compilation.html">compilation with libQGLViewer</a> page for details on examples' compilation.
</p>
<div style="font-size:smaller">
<!--
<span class="redStar">*</span> Names differ between the different Visual Studio versions:
<table class="blue">
<tr><th>Visual Studio 200X</th><th>Visual Studio 6</th></tr>
<tr><td>Qt - Open solution from .pro file</td><td>Open/Generate Qt Project icon</td></tr>
<tr class="even"><td>Tools - Add-Ins manager</td><td>Tools - Customize - Add-ins and Macro Files/QMsDev Add in</td></tr>
</table>
-->
<span class="redStar">*</span> You can generate the <code>.vcproj</code> file by typing <code>qmake -t vclib QGLViewer.pro -spec win32-msvc2010</code> (adapt to your configuration) in a Qt command prompt window.
<p>A <code>LNK4068 /MACHINE</code> warning message can be fixed by editing <i>Project - Properties of QGLViewer - Configuration properties - Link editor - Advanced - Target Computer</i>.</p>
Visual Studio 6 only: Use <i>File-Open workspace</i> to open the <code>.dsp</code> generated file, and select <i>Release</i> as the <i>Build/Active Configuration</i>.
<!--
<p>
If your Qt version is lower than 3.1, you have to install the <a
href="http://www.xmission.com/~nate/glut.html">GLUT library</a> in order to have text display. Add
the paths to GLUT in your <code>Include</code> and <code>Library</code>
<i>Project-Properties</i><span class="redStar">*</span>, and copy <code>glut32.dll</code> in a
library directory.

<h2><img src="images/qt.png" width="38" height="40" alt="Qt"/> Installation of the designer plugin</h2>
The compilation and installation of the QGLViewer designer plugin is optional. It eases
the creation of user interfaces that feature a QGLViewer widget using Qt designer. Simply drag and drop the QGLViewer icon
that appears in the designer's <code>Display Widgets</code> tab to add it to your interface:
<p>
<img src="images/designerplugin.jpg" width="638" height="222" alt="designer plugin" />
</p>
When added to your user interface, the widget displays the standard spiral, which can be manipulated
when you test your interface. All the viewers' signals and slots are available and can be connected to the rest of your interface.
<p>
To compile the plugin, open the <code>designerPlugin.pro</code> file to create your workspace.
Install the resulting plugin library (<code>qglviewerplugin.dll</code>) in <code>$QTDIR\plugins\designer</code> and/or
<code>C:\Program Files\QtSoftware\Qt VS Integration\plugins</code> to use it with the Visual Studio
integrated designer.
</p>
Make sure you are building and using the <i>Release</i> version of <code>QGLViewer2.dll</code>.
Note that you also have to install <code>QGLViewer2.dll</code> in <code>C:\Windows\System32</code> (as described above).
Copying this file to <code>$QTDir\bin</code> sometimes also seems necessary.
<p>
To create your own designer plugin for your derived QGLViewer class, start from this code and change a few lines as explained in the source.
</p>
<!--
<p>
With Qt version 3, an alternative to this plugin is to add a "Custom Widget" using the
<i>Tools/Custom</i> designer menu. Select <i>Load Descriptions...</i> and provide the
<code>qglviewer.cw</code> custom widget description file, located in the QGLViewer header files
directory. You can customize this description for your own classes, with your own signals and slots and the header
file path.
</p>
-->
See the <a href="examples/interface.html">interface example</a> for an illustration of a user
interface that includes a QGLViewer.
<p>
Please <a href="mailto:contact@libqglviewer.com">let me know</a> if you encounter installation problems.
