Its probably not worth it though since the dist includes HTML and PDF pregenerated. Right now I am the only one who can build the new docs, mostly because I haven't formalized the build process. It's also slow as hell. Takes about an hour to generate the docs for the website. | > Note that the Mac port is currently stalled since | > PyOpenGL setup requires the ability to compile executables, not just | > dynamic/static libs.

I use only the utilities | distributed with OS X | - gcc, the apple Project Builder etc. I can't develop for OS 9 or earlier. | Feel free to look at it. I believe that the config file you will need to create is "config/darwin" Does OSX use mac line endings? Anyways there's a dist with mac line endings at http://pyopengl.sf.net/ftp/ You're probably going to need the latest CVS of distutils since there have been some Mac changes recently. thanks, Tarn |

| I think Richard was referring to the links from the documentation page to | "GL", "GLU", "GLUT", and "GLE", which up to a few minutes ago | were pointing | at my old proof-of-concept conversions of the man pages. They | now point to | your XML-generated manual sections. Note, however, that save for the GLE | docs, none of the Python sections is currently showing up in IE 5.5, | possibly a style sheet problem (your test document for adding the sections | originally showed up with the Python section as I recall)? Looks fine to me. Most of the Python sections just haven't been written. GLE is done but only a few GL pages are done. Tarn |

| Unfortunately, the TOC loads ok, but sub-pages crash Konqueror | (2.2.1). I'll | look into that tomorrow night. I'll look at that. | ps. I just got moderation notes for the mailing list. Is it not | intended for | general discussion like this? Yep. I was just tweaking some spam settings. Should work fine now. Tarn |
