Hello,
I downloaded the FastGL graphics library from:
http://www.tutok.sk/fastgl/
According to the documentation is one the fastest graphic system in Linux.
Because it uses the Frame Buffer directly. and it uses also the SVGAlib.
But I can not compile it.
The error that shows running make is:
nasm not found!
What is it? and where I can find it?
thanks for your attention.
bye!

<p>Currently I'm trying add some METAFILEs feature and I'm writing docs -
hardly ;-)</p>
<p>I added support for PNG & JPG files. These features don't work with
WATCOM C++
compiler (because there isn't support for 16/32bit modes ). To support this
I added
precompiled versions of libpng, libz and libjpeg for DJGPP & Borland C++
5.5 . Sources
of ones are available too. These libs are included in the most of linux
distributions as
know as libpng, libz and libjpeg. You must have installed these include
headers (aka
develop versions). To disable JPG and PNG support you mus comment-in defines
<b>FG_PNG</b>
and <b>FG_JPEG</b> in the file <i>'config.h'</i>. Now I started with docs ;-
). Happy
christmas!</p>

<p><b>There are news/changes from last beta5 version:</b><dl>
<dd>* added DrawBitmap::stretch(int new_width, int new_height)<br>
* added DrawBitmap::stretch(float ratio_x, float ratio_y)<br>
* added simple image viewer example: 'zgv'<br>
* renamed DrawBuffer::pixel() to DrawBuffer::putpixel()<br>
* migrated Window::WindowGetPixel() to DrawBuffer::getpixel()<br>
* removed dependency between logical & physical width of the scan
line<br>
* improved mouse cursor for page flipping modes<br>
* fixed flipping for 16/32 bit modes</dd>
</dl>
<p>I wrote some example of using jpg - 'fgv' - simple image viewer (for all
supported
formats) with image stretching if needed (4KB cpp source :-) ). It simply
slideshow files
from 'file.lst' file. Under LINUX, when 'file.lst' don't exist, one is
created from ALL
images in current directory and subdirectories if any.</p>
<p>Just another example that I have written is intended to the new OpenGUI
PAGE FLIPPING
features. These feature don't work with the WATCOM C++ (because of banked
mode).
There are source for overview:</p>

Another new
container class is FGList class, inspired by the STL library list template.
For this
reason you must use gcc version 2.91 and above. The FGString is very light
implementation
of the standard string class. Another big changes is a new path for library
header files.
You must use #include <fastgl/fastgl.h> , not <fastgl.h> like
before. For
other changes and bugfixes see at the 'changes.txt'

<dd><font face="Tahoma"><small>OpenGUI is a high-Level C/C++ graphics
& windowing
library built upon a fast, low-level x86 asm graphics kernel. It is
under LGPL license.
OpenGUI provides 2D drawing primitives and an event-driven windowing API
for easy
application development, and it supports the BMP image file format. It's
very powerful,
but very easy to use. You can write apps in the old Borland BGI style or
in a windowed
style like QT. OpenGUI supports the keyboard and mouse as event sources,
and the Linux
framebuffer/svgalib as drawing backends. Mesa3D is also supported under
Linux. On now 8,
15, 16 and 32-bit color modes are available.<br>
<br>
</small><font size="2">OpenGUI is a very fast multi-platform 32-bit
graphics library/GUI
for MS-DOS (DPMI client/DJGPP), QNX (Watcom or GCC) and LINUX. It can be
used to create
graphic applications and games for these Operating Systems. The library
can be used with
GNU C++ (from ver. 2.7.2) or Watcom C++ (from 9.5) and NASM assembler
(0.97). The library
is very stable and is ready for programs that require realtime drawing
and Windows GUI.</font></font><p><font

layer is written with
