<H1>How do I build <I>glean</I>?</H1>

<P>
<I>glean</I> is intended to run on a variety of operating systems.
It has been tested on Linux-based GNU systems with the XFree86
X11 server, and on Microsoft Windows.

<P>
To help port <I>glean</I> to other
systems, please see <A HREF="next.html">Where do we go from here?</A>.

<H2>Other software you'll need before you can build <I>glean</I></H2>

<P>
<I>glean</I> stores images in the TIFF format, because it's one of
the few standard formats that's capable of handling images with 32-bit
and floating-point color values.  The best widely-available library for
handling TIFF is <A HREF="ftp://ftp.sgi.com/graphics/tiff">Sam Leffler's
libtiff</A>.  Your operating system may include this library already
(most Linux distributions do); if not, you'll need to obtain a copy of
the source and compile it according to the instructions contained therein.

<P>
Some of the tools in the <I>glean</I> suite use <A
HREF="http://reality.sgi.com/opengl/glut3/glut3.html">Mark
Kilgard's GLUT library</A>.  Again, your OS (or your <A
HREF="http://www.mesa3d.org/">MESA</A> distribution) may already include
GLUT, but if not, you'll need to grab a copy and install it.

<P>
Once you've completed those tasks, choose one of the following:
