A sample CMake for OpenGL based projects.

For more information about how all of these was done please refer to this link.

Building on Win32

Prerequisites

Install the following dependencies

• CMake (to download click here)
• IDE (e.g. Visual Studio)

Build instructions

1. Make sure that CMake is installed and added to the system PATH variable.
2. Open terminal in the CMakeLists.txt directory and run:

  mkdir build
  cd build
  cmake -A Win32 ..

Note: The project must be configured as Win32, due to precompiled x86 binaries of thirdparty libraries.

Building on Ubuntu

• The following recipe was successfully tested on Ubuntu 20.04 platform.
• So far, we haven't tested macOS, nor any other Unix flavors.
• However, we anticipate most Linux distros should build similarly, aside from a few package-management tweaks.
• So... if you're developing on those platforms, please feel free to contribute :-)

Prerequisites

  sudo apt update
  sudo apt install -y build-essential cmake mesa-common-dev mesa-utils freeglut3-dev

Build & run

  mkdir build
  cd build
  cmake ..
  make -j4
  ./OpenGLExample

Additional info

Any improvements to CMake script are greatly welcome.

Thanks for the contributions
