Getting started

WebViewer requires a modern web browser that supports WebGL. There's a good guide to finding one for your platform at http://learningwebgl.com/blog/?p=11.

Once you have a suitable browser, visit source/demos/02_WorldDemo/demo.html to see a demonstration.

Building WebViewer

WebViewer is compiled with Google's Closure Compiler. This produces an optimized, minified Javascript file containing all the WebViewer code.

Windows

1. Download the latest version of the Closure Compiler from http://closure-compiler.googlecode.com/files/compiler-latest.zip and unzip it in external\closure.

2. Change directory to scripts and run compile.bat.

Linux

1. Change directory to scripts and run make. This will download the Closure Compiler (if required) and compile WebViewer.
