thederickff/opengl_fundamentals

A cross-platform C++ project that approaches some of the fundamentals of OpenGL

OpenGL Fundamentals

This repository contains the code for TheCherno's series on OpenGL. It uses CMake to manage the build process, making it cross-platform. Follow along the video playlist, click the image below:

Installation

Ubuntu

To compile you first need to have CMake, GLEW, and GLFW installed. In the terminal run

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install build-essential cmake libglfw3-dev libglew-dev libglm-dev

Compilation

In the terminal cd to the project directory and create a build directory. Now there should be a working

cd <Path to OpenGL_Fundamentals>
mkdir ./build
cd ./build
cmake ..
make

Execution

To run the program cd to the directory containing the res/ directory. By default this is OpenGL_Fundamentals, but you can also copy the res/ directory into the location that the executable is saved and run it from there. As long as you're executing the binary in a directory containing `res/ you can run the executable and it should work.

./build/myapp
