IMPORTANT! K-3D is a complex project, linked with several external libraries. please follow these steps carefully, and don't get frustrated!
DISCLAIMER! K-3D is an free (as in freedom) project to convert a large quantity of mature (more than five years of active development) Win32-only code to a framework that compiles without change under Win32 and Linux. the good news is that there's a ton of existing functionality that can be converted to the new framework quite easily. the bad news is that it *is* a work in progress. if you aren't a developer interested in contributing to the project, K-3D is probably not for you, yet ...
although the K-3D source code is the same for all platforms, the build process varies widely. please choose your platform from the following:
| GNU/LInux & Unix | K-3D can be built on any POSIX-like platform with GNU tools, the GTK+ toolkit, and an implementation of OpenGL. |
| Win32 | K-3D can be built for Win32 using MSVC. |
if you have any questions or difficulties, please contact the K-3D Mailing List for a rapid response.
