  To build you need at minimum both of these, X11 and Xt (unless you are
  looking to build win32).
    sudo apt-get install libx11-dev
    sudo apt-get install libxt-dev
  You may need to install one of these to build Motif version:
    sudo apt-get install libmotif-dev (strongly recommended)
    sudo apt-get install lesstif2-dev (defunct)
  You need to install XPM if you want color icons:
    sudo apt-get install libxpm-dev (strongly recommended)
  To install XMU if you want editres:
    sudo apt-get install libxmu-dev (probably not useful)
  To install sound libraries (defunct):
    sudo apt-get install librplay3-dev
    sudo apt-get install libesd0-dev
    sudo apt-get install libaudiofile-dev
    sudo apt-get install nas-dev
    sudo apt-get install pulse-dev
      In place of these it is just configured by default with
      --enable-def-play=play.sh
  Then should be a simple
    configure; make

  Try resizing Threed.  Notice the image resizes to take advantage of
  the "room" available.

  Try editing the file Threed.ad to get a certain feature and then copying
  to $(HOME)/Threed (where Threed is the file name) and running xthreed
  again.  There is also a Windows port (wthreed).

  Keep in mind that Threed is a widget that can be simply stuck in
  other X programs. (If you find a use for this, let me know).

  Refer to the man page for detailed command line options and instructions
  on how to operate.

FILE FORMAT

  The format is pretty standard.  I got it mostly from PHIGS.  I added
  a few things.  The "threed.comm" file has some comments that may help
  in understanding the "threed.dat", that's the only reason it is
  included.  The program will crash if data file is corrupted.  Please
  note that the ordering of the data matters.

FOUND A BUG?

  Send bugs reports and fixes to the author. For bugs, please include
  as much information as to their location as possible, since I may not
  be able to duplicate them.

other stuff to do
  1. Handle multiple objects better.
  2. Tracking of rotation does not seem correct.
