Modern OpenGL Tutorials by Jason L. McKesson

Tutorials

This is a series of tutorials on using OpenGL to do graphical rendering. The code for each tutorial is found in the "Tut_*" directories. The code alone is not enough information to understand what is going on. The actual documentation is available in several forms.

The HTML form of the documentation can be found by opening the "index.html" file. There are 3 PDF forms of the documentation. TutorialsComp.pdf is a PDF that uses very thin margins; it is useful for display on computers (or tablets). TutorialsPrintBW.pdf is a PDF designed for printing on a black-and-white printer. TutorialsKindle.pdf is a PDF that is sized specifically for the screen of the Kindle 2.

The License.txt file contains the licensing information for the materials distributed in these tutorials.

How to build

premake4 is required to build the tutorials, and it can be found inside premake4 folder.

See help

premake4 --help

Build for CodeLite

  • First, you would need to build all necessary libraries for all tutorials:
cd glsdk
premake4 codelite

  • Use CodeLite to open glsdk.workspace and build the workspace to produce the needed libraries.

  • At the root of the project, generate a workspace for all tutorials:

premake4 codelite
  • Use Codelite to open AllTutorials.workspace and build the workspace.

Build for GNU Makefiles (including Cygwin and MinGW)

  • First, you would need to build all necessary libraries for all tutorials:
cd glsdk
premake4.exe gmake
mingw32-make.exe -j5 config=release
  • At the root of the project, build all tutorials:
premake4.exe gmake
mingw32-make.exe -j5 config=release
