Project files for Visual Studio and XCode are provided, mainly
- Newton Core: coreLibrary_300/projects/
- packages: packages/projects/
- demo sandbox: applications/demosSandbox/projects/
There are Unix makefiles in the project folders mentioned above, but it is highly recommended to use CMake indstead.
Newton Core does not have any third party dependencies.
For building the demo sandbox the following packages need to be installed:
- wxWidgets 2.8 or 2.9
- Freetype
- OpenGL
- GLEW
- OpenAL
- TinyXML
All of these should be available on any major Linux distribution (with associated -dev or -devel packages).
Alternatively they can be found in the folder packages/thirdParty/ and built from source.
