COMPILING/DEVELOPMENT
---------------------

Compilation requires the free wxWindows toolkit, available from
from www.wxwindows.org and one of its supported compiler such as GCC.
Version 2.3.1 of wxWindows is needed, as the new XML resources are used.
Compilation is successful with Linux and Windows. Mac and MacOSX not
tested yet.

To compile:
-Have GCC (or other supported compiler) set up properly.
-Build the wxWindows library according to the instructions found with
 that distribution.
-Build the XML resource library (xrc) (in /contrib of the wxWindows 
 distribution).
-Test that things set up properly by compiling the wxWindows samples and
 the XML samples (in /contrib/samples).
-Run the makefile for plucker-desktop, or if neccessary, use the 
 makefile.g95 for plucker-desktop and the makefiles that come in the
 wxWindows examples to write the makefile for your compiler.

To watch debugging information:
-For Windows, there is a freeware debugging tool to watch the debug
 messages scroll by in the debug build of plucker-desktop.exe.
 It is downloadable from: 
 http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/debugview.shtml
 This tool also ships in the wxWindows distribution for Windows.
