The MDL loader is in the PLIB library - and currently only in an unreleased version. To get that you need to download the PLIB sources from the CVS repository on SourceForge. Once you have that, you'll need to compile and install it - then download the PPE sources - then recompile and install those. PPE is also unreleased - so again, you need the CVS archives. You may gather that this is all fairly new stuff! We should be releasing a new 'official' PLIB sometime this month - but PPE is far from ready for an actual user release. Hence you are doomed to needing CVS snapshots for the immediate future. > Concerning my flight sim I have not finished the work which I want to do for > the first release and which could be published as shareware.

Yep - I think we can all identify with that view! -- Steve Baker HomeEmail: <sjb...@ai...> WorkEmail: <sj...@li...> HomePage : http://web2.airmail.net/sjbaker1 Projects : http://plib.sourceforge.net http://tuxaqfh.sourceforge.net http://tuxkart.sourceforge.net http://prettypoly.sourceforge.net |
