FreeWRL OSX Build

Building the FreeWRL runtime library.

This will build the FreeWRL system for local use only. It will not build for general install, nor for browser plugins.

• Install Apple's development environment "XCode" if not already installed.

• get the source - see the download page for ways of getting the source, or build from CVS, as per:

  	cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@freewrl.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/freewrl checkout -P freewrl
  

• In the finder, find the "freewrl/OSX_gui/FreeWRL_Desktop" directory.

• click on the FreeWRL.xcodeproj file, which will start XCode and then run it from within XCode.

  Change the line in the file "FWGLView.m", change the "startingString" to point to the file you want to render:

          startingString="/Users/john/Desktop/GeoSpatialTesting/7_levels_plus/globe_with_ROOTNODE.x3d";
  

  is a file on the local computer - change the path to match your requirements.

• click on the "Product->Clean", then "Run".
