A framework for developing cross-platform applications oriented to graphics rendering
Please see the project wiki for all the framework documentation:
OpenGL 4.2 or superior must be installed on the client machine before executing the application on Windows and Linux. Make sure also that you have the lastest video drivers installed. In Android and IOS the device must be compatible OpenGLES2 or OpenGLES3 (the mayor part of the market devices support this)
First you need to get the GL libraries:
sudo apt-get install freeglut3 freeglut3-dev
sudo apt-get install libglew-dev
Now, go to the proyect main folder (where the Makefile is) and run:
make
This will build all the modules (WindowConnector, Graphics and the example, testProject). It will not build ModelTransformer cause it is not allways necesary and you need de fbx library in order to do so.
If what you want is to build a particular project, then go to your project folder and execute:
make -f [projectName].makefile
You must have Visual Studio 2012 or superior installed in order to build the project. Then in order to compile the Graphics library, you simply open the Graphics.sln located in the Graphics folder and build it from Visual Studio. If you want to build an entire project as ExampleProject, go to the ExampleProject folder, open ExampleProject.sln and build it. The same applies to the ModelConverter module.
Android app can be built in Linux or Windows, but you must have GNU Make installed. Also, you must have the Android SDK and NDK in your machine. This can be downloaded here:
- SDK (Android Studio is not required, just SDK): https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html
- NDK: https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/index.html
Once downloaded, go to the SDK folder and locate the SDK Manager. Execute it and install the Android 4.0.3 (API 15) package (all the package).
Then go to YOUR project folder (ex. ExampleProject) where the file android-build.makefile resides and execute:
make -f android-build.makefile ANDROID_SDK_DIR=[path to sdk/tools] ANDROID_NDK_DIR=[path to ndk folder]
for example:
make -f android-build.makefile ANDROID_SDK_DIR=C:/Users/Marco/Documents/android-sdk/tools ANDROID_NDK_DIR=C:/Users/Marco/Documents/android-ndk-r10
This will generate the .apk and will install it on your device if connected.
In order to build an IOS application, you need to clone this repository in a Mac OS. Then go to your project folder (for example ExampleProject or ClothDemo). There you will find a file named IOS_Project.xcodeproj that is an Xcode project file. Open that file with Xcode and compile it. Notice that for running the application in an actual device, you will need to have an Apple developer certificate (witch are paid), but if you don´t have one, you could still run it from an emulator (Xcode provide it for you).
