Dependencies
In this section we summarize the dependencies inside Pastel and Pastel's dependencies to external libraries.
Internal dependencies
The dependencies between Pastel's sub-libraries form an acyclic directed graph. Because of this, Pastel can be used either in its entirety or only as a subset if some functionality is not required. The following (transitively reduced) graph summarizes the internal dependencies, as well as external dependencies.
External dependencies
Some, but not all, of the sub-libraries of Pastel are dependent on external libraries which must be installed in order to compile and link them. These external libraries are listed here. The detailed dependency relations are visualized in the graph above. The version number that follows the library name is the one that the current version of Pastel was used to develop against. This is useful to know in case a later version breaks backward compatibility.
Boost 1.45
Pastel refers to Boost's include files in the form
boost/operators.hpp.
Pastel only uses the template code found in Boost and
thus requires no linking with object code.
Boost is licensed under the Boost license.
SDL 1.2
Pastel refers to SDL's include files in the form SDL.h.
SDL is licensed under the GNU LGPL.
Glew 1.5.7
Pastel refers to Glew's include files in the form GL/glew.h.
Glew is licensed under a modified BSD license.
Official Mersenne Twister source code
http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/MT2002/emt19937ar.html
Pastel integrates a minimally modified version of the official Mersenne Twister source code directly into the PastelSys library. No installation is needed.
Remark 1.3
The documentation for Pastel is written in Remark. This library is not required to build Pastel.
