Prerequisite

  • cmake
  • I used vcpkg to install the following necessary C++ libraries for this project:
    • glew
    • glfw3
    • glm
    • imgui[opengl3-gl3w-binding]
    • stb

For windows setup only

  • Install cmake-3.18.3-win64-x64.msi from this page https://cmake.org/download/
  • Install vcpkg:
    • Clone vcpkg repo: git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
    • Enter vcpkg folder: cd vcpkg
    • Build vcpkg: bootstrap-vcpkg && vcpkg integrate install
  • Install required C++ libs from vcpkg (I've only tested x64 build): 
    vcpkg install glew:x64-windows glfw3:x64-windows glm:x64-windows imgui[opengl3-gl3w-binding]:x64-windows stb:x64-windows

Build the code

# Configure the project and generate a native build system. Please replace <vcpkg_dir> with the actual path to your vcpkg folder.
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<vcpkg_dir>/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake -S . -B build

# Compile / build the project
cmake --build build
