 development and requirements
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Windows:

 This project was created with VS 7.1 under Windows.

 need \include and \lib directories of

 OGRE_HOME		... env variable of Ogre SDK or ogrenew
 LIBXML_HOME	... env variable of libxml2

 Libraries:
 	Ogre:  	OgreMain(_d).lib
 	Libxml:	libxml2.lib

Linux:

 The Linux build system uses autotools. It was developed on a machine with
 these versions:

   autoconf 2.60
   automake 1.9.6
   libtool 1.5.22 

 To build:

   ./bootstrap.sh
   ./configure
   make

 To run the demo, you need to install the plugin (as root):

   make install

 And, since the plugins.cfg file has been checked into CVS with a capital letter, 
 you need to fix that:

   cd demo/bin/Debug
   cp Plugins.cfg plugins.cfg

 You will also need to plugins.cfg to take out the Direct3D renderer.

 Then you should be ready to go:

   ./ColladaDemo

 libxml (iconv)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 For further details visit http://www.xmlsoft.org

 Maya uses a self-precompiled version of libxml2-2.6.19 (and above) without
 ivonv (it is used for character encoding).
 They have set the makro LIBXML_ICONV_ENABLED 0 in xmlversion.h and linked the
 library statically into their plugin with LIBXML_STATIC.

 There is no problem to use libxml2 with iconv enabled dynamically. So you
 need to set the paths for include and library directories in your development
 IDE.
