        Anything built with this toolkit needs hardware 3D acceleration from

        but is not available for every graphics card nor for all virtual

      The test suite is not recommended because some tests may
      hang forever. If you want to test the results anyway,
      issue: <command>make -j1 -k check</command>. You must be
      in an xterm or similar, because it launches some windows. Two tests,
      <filename>actor-destroy 1 /actor/destruction</filename> and
      <filename>actor-paint-opacity 1 /actor/opacity/text</filename>, are known
      to fail.
