Software Requirements

Java

Java 1.5 or newer is required as Blackspirit Graphics is taking advantage of generics.

Vecmath

Blackspirit Graphics is depending on the Vecmath library. A binary version of this library is part of the Blackspirit Graphics distribution.

JOGL 1.1.1

The JOGL library is available for various operating systems (including Windows, Linux and MacOSX). As there is a JOGL package available for each operating system and for webstart applications JOGL is not bundled with the release packages and must be downloaded from jogl.dev.java.net.

The Jar archives from the JOGL distribution must be included in the classpath and the native libraries (.dll or .so) must be made available for the application. In Eclipse a native library path can be defined for each Jar archive.

Please notice that the Gluegen library (including native libraries) bundled with JOGL is also needed.

Project Setup

The project files and source code are available on sourceforge.net/projects/bsgraphics in a subversion repository.

Eclipse

The project can be directly checked out from subversion as an Eclipse project.

Eclipse 3.5 is being used for development together with the Subclipse plugin for subversion integration.
