AIX Version 4.3 Package Guide for LPP Installation

OpenGL Product Information

OpenGL contains software that enables the user to develop or run applications using the OpenGL API or the GL 3.2 API. OpenGL also contains an object-oriented toolkit for developing interactive, 3D graphics applications and defining a standard file format for exchanging 3D data among applications.

Package Names

OpenGL.OpenGL_X.rte OpenGL Run-Time Environment

Contains the base run-time libraries, the OpenGL Pipeline run-time support, and the SoftOpenGL run-time support.

OpenGL.OpenGL_X.adt OpenGL Application Development Toolkit

Contains include files required to develop OpenGL applications along with sample source and documentation.

OpenGL.OpenGL_X.dev OpenGL Device Dependent Software

Contains device dependent libraries and load modules required to run OpenGL applications.

OpenGL.OpenGL_X.tools OpenGL Support Tools

Contains base development tools, performance tools and an OpenGL debugger.

OpenGL.info.en_US OpenGL InfoExplorer Databases - U.S. English

Contains documentation necessary to develop applications which use the Graphics Library (GL) support under AIXwindows.

OpenGL.GL32.rte    GL Run-Time Environment

Contains libraries and programs required to run GL 3.2 applications.

OpenGL.GL32.adt GL Application Development Toolkit

Contains include files required to develop applications using GL 3.2 along with demos, sample source and utilities.

OpenGL.GL32.dev GL Device Dependent Software

Contains device dependent libraries and load modules required to run GL 3.2 applications.

Special Installation Notes

The device dependent software has been divided into specific filesets for each graphics adapter that is supported. To conserve disk space, you may want to selectively install only the pieces matching the hardware you are using. This applies to both the OpenGL and GL 3.2 packages.

Special Migration Notes

The OpenGL.info.en_US fileset requires that the bos.info.en_US.nav fileset be installed first. When the latest level of the bos.info.en_US.nav fileset is installed, the previously installed level of OpenGL.info.en_US is removed. Before installing the OpenGL.info.en_US fileset, refer to the Special Migration Notes section of the bos.info.en_US fileset for more information.
