You don't need bunzip2 or wget. You do need a browser and way to unzip
ordinary .zip files. When I said the installation should be similar to the
"ldglite for linux" instructions on ldraw.org, I meant for you to follow
them loosly but substitute appropriate changes based on the instructions
at the Mesa for Risc-OS site:
http://www-solar.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/~davidb/Mesa/
So the first step would be to install the ldraw archives. Do not get the
tar.gz version, but instead visit www.ldraw.org with your browser and get
the DOS version of complete.zip and install that.
The second step should be to visit the Mesa for Risc-OS site and get the
binary package from there. Install it according to the directions there,
not the linux instructions. The Risc-OS site also directs you to get the
source for Mesa from the sourceforge (you need the header files). The link
they provide gets a tarred and gzipped version, but if you just browse the
site http://download.sourceforge.net/mesa3d you'll see the same version
compressed as a .zip file. Get both MesaLibs and MesaDemos as per the ldglite
instructions. However, make sure you get the version number that matches the
binary distribution from the Risc-OS site.
Finally, visit http://ldglite.sourceforge.net/ldglitesrc0_7_3.zip with your
brower (not wget) to get the ldglite source.
Now that you've got everything, you should be able to attempt to
compile ldglite. This is where I expected you to have the most
trouble. And now that I read a bit more of the Mesa for Risc-OS web
page I'm sure of it. Down at the bottom of the page it mentions they
only built the AUX toolkit instead of the GLUT toolkit used by
ldglite. All of the important functions are virtually identical but
you'll need to add a file with wrappers and stubs to convert the GLUT
function calls to AUX function calls. This is probably a couple of
hours of work if you know what you're doing. If you're really
motivated I can help you through it. Send me an email.
