The Cal3D project comes with automake/autoconf scripts and MS Visual C++ for easy compilation.
Read the compile instructions for your specific development environment below.
Change to the cal3d directory and execute the following commands in the shell:
./configure
make
This should build the Cal3D library without any warning or error.
Start up MS Visual C++ and execute the following steps:
Open the cal3d.dsw workspace file.
Execute Build -> Rebuild all.
This should build the Cal3D library without any warning or error in the Release Configuration. The STL warnings that appear while compiling the Debug Configuration can be ignored.
