\section sec_compiling_unix Unix

Install the following external libraries / frameworks:<br><br>
<table>
<tr><td>OpenGL</td><td><a href="http://www.opengl.org" target="_blank">http://www.opengl.org</a></td></tr>
<tr><td>Qt4</td><td><a href="http://www.qtsoftware.com/downloads" target="_blank">http://www.qtsoftware.com/downloads</a></td></tr>
<tr><td>GLEW</td><td><a href="http://glew.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">http://glew.sourceforge.net/</a></td></tr>
</table><br><br>
In order to compile and install OpenMesh, enter following commands in OpenMesh's root directory:<br><br>
<tt>
qmake&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;## Generates the appropriate Makefiles<br>
make&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;## Builds the project (use 'make debug' to build debug version)<br>
</tt><br>
When using the \c qmake command, make sure to use Qt version 4 (some linux distributions<br>
use the link \c qmake-qt4 against the executable).

\section sec_compiling_windows Windows

For Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, you can use
the predefined solution file <tt>Core/OpenMesh_Core.vcproj</tt> and <tt>Tools/OpenMesh_Tools.vcproj</tt> 

\section sec_compiling_macosx MacOSX

Download and install the Qt4 framework from <a href="http://www.qtsoftware.com/downloads" target="_blank">Trolltech</a>.<br>
Because some of the examples depend on the GLEW library, it's recommended to install glew via the darwin portage
system <a href="http://www.finkproject.org" target="_blank">fink</a>.<br>
If you have not installed fink yet, follow the instructions given on their site in order to install it.<br>
Type
<tt>
sudo fink install glew
</tt>
to install glew headers and libraries. ( Fink usually installs header files to \c /sw/include and libraries to \c /sw/lib. )
<br>
In order to compile and install OpenMesh, open a Terminal window and enter following commands in OpenMesh's root directory:<br><br>
<tt>
qmake -macx&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;## Generates the appropriate Makefiles<br>
make release&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;## Builds the project (use 'make debug' to build debug version)<br>
</tt>
