CraftGE
An experimental computer graphics rendering engine based on OpenGL.
Prerequisites
The things you need to install before building this project.
- CMake 3.0 or later
Dependencies
- GLFW - a multi-platform library for OpenGL application development
- Assimp - a library to import and export various 3d-model-formats
Befor building the project, you need to get dependencies first:
Windows (MSVC)
You can get dependencies in Windows by following ways:
Use Microsoft VC++ Packaging Tool (Recommand)
PS > vcpkg install glfw3 assimp
PS > vcpkg integrate installAfter that, the libraries will be handled automatically.
Or, build dependencies manually, then copy .lib and .dll to the lib directory.
macOS & Linux
Manually build dependencies, then install them or copy .so files to lib directory.
Build
Use CMake to generate project and build:
cd CraftGE
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .Roadmap
