How to build Netgen for Salome
------------------------------
-Patch the official netgen 4.3 distribution:
+Patch the netgen 4.5 distribution:
-$ cd netgen43
-$ patch -p1 < patch_directory/netgen43ForSalome.patch
+$ cd netgen45
+$ patch -p1 < patch_directory/netgen45ForSalome.patch
-Then run makeForSalome.sh:
+Then run makeForSalome.sh (it will be created by the patch):
$ sh makeForSalome.sh

+need not to compile Netgen as suggested in the netgen45/README.INSTALL file.
+Simply modify the Makefiles to remove -DOPENGL from compiler flags
+list and to add OCC include dir and flags to compiler flags, add the objects
+nglib.o and ngnewdelete.o to the library libnginterface.a and
+recompile the libraries only.
+All this job is done by applying the patch and running the script makeForSalome.sh.
+
+Th suggested patch alters some Netgen sources to compile them.
