This repository is a simple rigid body engine written in OpenGL and configured using CMake. It supports cross-platform builds.

Building

To configure and build the project, do the following from the root directory of the repository:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

This will configure the CMake and will generate platform-specific build files. To build, execute the following from within the build directory:

cd .. && cmake build

Or build using whatever generated build system CMake produced.

Third Party Library Support

By default, the CMake project will automatically link with GLAD, GLFW, and OpenGL. There is optional built-in support for a few other ubiquitous libraries.

GLAD

GLAD loader files will be generated based on the CMake cache variables set in CMakeLists.txt. Setting these variables allows one to specify the parameters for the loader similar to what the corresponding webservice allows you to do.

GLFW

GLFW is linked automatically against the main project. This works without requiring any additional dependencies to be installed on Windows, but Linux may require some additional steps depending on your environment:

1. Make sure you have a working compiler (GCC / Clang) and build system, and that they're accessible to CMake. Stable versions of GCC (note: this project supports C++17 by default) and Make can be pulled down through:

    sudo apt-get install build-essential

2. X11 may need to be installed for OpenGL window creation:

    sudo apt-get install libx11-dev

3. RandR headers (dependency of X11) may need to be installed as well:

   sudo apt-get install xorg-dev libglu1-mesa-dev
