Configuration

You will need some configuration before being able to compile the project, follow this instructions:

Windows

• Install MSYS2 and follow the instructions

• For x86_64 target:

  • (In the MSYS2 terminal) Install dependencies:

    • MinGW-w64 tool-chain:

      pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain

    • SDL2:

      pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2

    • GLEW:

      pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-glew

    • GLM:

      pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-glm

  • Add C:\msys64\mingw64\bin to PATH (Assuming MSYS2 was installed on C:\msys64)

• For x86 target:

  • Do the same as above but swap all occurrences of mingw-w64-x86_64 for mingw-w64-i686 and C:\msys64\mingw64\bin for C:\msys64\mingw32\bin in the PATH

Note: If MSYS2 was installed somewhere else other than C:\msys64\, you will need to not only correct the PATH accordingly but the .vscode\c_cpp_properties.json and .vscode\launch.json too.

Ubuntu

• Install dependencies:

  sudo apt install libglew-dev libglm-dev libsdl2-dev
