This mini project is a first step towards the use of OpenGL. One of the first project inside of the Graphics branch at 42.

Libraries

To ensure the proper functioning of the program, you must have the following libraries installed:

sudo apt-get install cmake xorg-dev libglu1-mesa-dev

You should now have :

/usr/include/GL
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so

Then to use GLFW, it is encouraged to install it from the source code. This is to be sure you have the latest version as well as the proper version for your system. You can find it here. Then, unzip the package and run the following commands:

cd glfw-x.x.x
rehash
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles"
make
sudo make install

You should now have :

/usr/local/include/GLFW
/usr/local/lib/libglfw3.a

Compilation

Now all you need is to include the library in your project.

#include <GLFW/glfw3.h>

And you might wanna link the library when compiling:

-lglfw3 -lGL -lm -lXrandr -lXi -lX11 -lXxf86vm -lpthread

Note : If it's installed on your machine, it's recommended to use pkg-config to know how to link and include the library for compilation.

Add to CXXFLAGS :

pkg-config --cflags glfw3

Add to LINKFLAGS :

pkg-config --static --libs glfw3
