The G3D distribution includes zlib, libpng, libjpeg, FFMPEG, and libzip. You do not need to install those libraries separately.

You can browse and search the unstable, unsupported latest CVS Sources. To check out the CVS tree, use the command:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@g3d-cpp.cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/g3d-cpp co -P G3D
On Windows, we recommend TortoiseCVS, which can download G3D from :pserver:anonymous@g3d-cpp.cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/g3d-cpp.

Recommended Tools
