From Nekoware

Coin3D is a high-level 3D graphics toolkit for developing cross-platform real-time 3D visualization and visual simulation software.

Coin3D is portable over a wide range of platforms: any UNIX / Linux / *BSD platform, all Microsoft Windows operating systems, and Mac OS X.

Coin3D is built on OpenGL and uses scene graph data structures to render 3D graphics in real-time. Basic import, rendering, and interaction with a 3D object can be implemented in just a few lines of code, and programmer efficiency is greatly increased compared with programming directly with OpenGL. OpenGL code and Coin3D code can co-exist in the same application, which makes gradual migration from OpenGL to Coin3D possible.

Coin3D is fully compatible with SGI Open Inventor 2.1, the de facto standard for 3D visualization and visual simulation software in the scientific and engineering community. Additional features in Coin3D include VRML97 support, 3D sound, 3D textures, and parallel rendering on multiple processors.

[edit] Installing the package

Download and install the neko_coin-2.4.4 (version 1) tardist package from the Nekoware repository.

Installation of the precompiled binary package can be achieved using either Software Manager or inst: In the case of inst, all that's required is the command:

~ $ inst -f /path/to/neko_coin-2.4.4.tardist
install all
keep *.opt.src
go
quit

You will need "root" privileges to install the software.

A list of all files is installed by this package is available.

[edit] Package Dependencies

The following additional packages are required to run this software correctly:

• No dependencies.

[edit] Package Incompatibilities

The following packages are marked as incompatible.

• No incompatibilities.

[edit] Package Layout

Default indicates whether the subsystem will be installed if "install standard" (or similar) is used. Order is used if any given subsystem must be installed before others.

[edit] Post installation Steps

none

[edit] Compiling

As for the majority of Nekoware packages, the 7.4.x release of SGI's MIPSpro Compiler suite has been used to build this package.

PACKAGE NAME:

SOURCE/VERSION:

coin-2.4.2

DESCRIPTION:

Coin3D is a high-level 3D graphics toolkit for developing cross-platform real-time 3D visualization and visual simulation software.

Coin3D is portable over a wide range of platforms: any UNIX / Linux / *BSD platform, all Microsoft Windows operating systems, and Mac OS X.

Coin3D is built on OpenGL and uses scene graph data structures to render 3D graphics in real-time. Basic import, rendering, and interaction with a 3D object can be implemented in just a few lines of code, and programmer efficiency is greatly increased compared with programming directly with OpenGL. OpenGL code and Coin3D code can co-exist in the same application, which makes gradual migration from OpenGL to Coin3D possible.

Coin3D is fully compatible with SGI Open Inventor 2.1, the de facto standard for 3D visualization and visual simulation software in the scientific and engineering community. Additional features in Coin3D include VRML97 support, 3D sound, 3D textures, and parallel rendering on multiple processors.

KNOWN DEPENDANCIES:

none

INSTALLATION:

none

ERRORS/MISCELLANEOUS:

For building the documentation you need doxygen first. The 'javascript-api' is disabled because it have a need for a nonexisting 3rd party library. For unknown reasons all shared libs build into one main library. Dont ask why?
