+PREAMBLE
+--------
+
+Mitsuba is a GPLv3 research-oriented rendering system in the style of
+PBRT. It is written in C++, implements unbiased as well as biased techniques, 
+and contains heavy optimizations targeted towards current CPU
+architectures. 
+
+Mitsuba places a strong emphasis on experimental rendering techniques, 
+such as path-based formulations of Metropolis Light Transport and 
+volumetric modeling approaches.

+This SlackBuild uses a git snapshot from 7 Feb 2015.
+
+
+BUILDING AND INSTALLING
+-----------------------
+
+Mitsuba requires libglewmx. Slackware ships with GLEW but it has not been compiled to include libglewmx,
+so you will have to re-compile and re-install it manually.
+
+To do this, get the glew Slackbuild from your install disc (or your nearest Slackware mirror) and the glew source code.
+Compile as normal, but your install line should be:
+
+make install.all GLEW_DEST=$PKG/usr
+(where $PKG is your DESTDIR, which you will run makepkg against)
+
+Install your new version of glew and then build Mitsuba. 
+

+There is a handy Mitsuba Blender plugin available from SlackBuilds.org so that you can use Mitsuba as your Blender renderer.
