History
This is Gmsh, an automatic three-dimensional finite element mesh
generator, primarily Delaunay, with built-in pre- and post-processing
facilities.

To install Gmsh, type

./configure
make
make install

This requires GSL 1.2 or higher (freely available from
http://sources.redhat.com/gsl/) and FLTK 1.1.x (configured with OpenGL
support; freely available from http://www.fltk.org). You can use the
--with-fltk-prefix and --with-gsl-prefix configure options (or define
the FLTK_DIR and GSL_DIR environment variables) if the libraries are
not installed in their default locations. Please note that compiling
the Windows version requires the Cygwin tools (freely available from
http://www.cygwin.com) and a "cygwin-enabled" version of FLTK (i.e.,
you have to configure FLTK with "./configure --enable-cygwin").

To install a non-graphical version of Gmsh (that does not require FLTK
nor OpenGL), type

./configure --disable-gui
make
make install

For a description of all other configuration options, type

./configure --help
