trivial to install, although it is not really very difficult. Please
do take the time to read this document before starting.
Panda is known to build successfully on Linux, SGI Irix, Windows NT
and Windows 2000. It should also be easily portable to other
Unix-based OpenGL systems with little or no changes (please let us
know if you try this). When compiled by Windows NT or 2000, it will
then run on a Windows 95 or 98 system, but we have found that Windows
98 is not itself stable enough to compile the codebase without
crashing.
Presently, Panda does not compile successfully with Microsoft Visual
C++ version 6.0. You must install Visual C++ 7.0 (that is, Microsoft
Visual Studio .NET) in order to compile Panda on Windows.
