I've almost got GeomView compiled on 1.1.5.1 / X11R6 / Motif 1.2.3.
Problem is in it's file utility routines: it does nasty nasty things like
accessing fields of a FILE structure (which don't exist in FreeBSD). It
also requires gmake. Also gives lotsa warnings like 'target `foo.o' given
more than once in the same rule.' (which I've been ignoring for now).
Works fine on an SGI, though. This is a killer package. A 'must have.'
It does really wonderful 3D stuff (this is not a rendering package, though)
with objects, and allows you to write external extensions to it. We've
just gotten this thing on our SGI machines, and are moving some of our
internal apps to it.
