An unofficial template project for BME VIK Computer Graphics homeworks
- Meson
- OpenGL dependencies (
glfw3,glew,glut, etc...)
Follow the Meson guide on how to download and get started with Meson, or simply download the MSI from their latest releases page.
Run the following command to get the dependencies.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y mesa-utils libgl1-mesa-dev \
libglu1-mesa-dev libglm-dev freeglut3-dev libglew-dev libglfw3-dev \
python3 ninja-build mesonRun the following command to get the dependencies.
brew install mesa-glu glm glew glfw mesonFirst, use this project as a template to get your own repository. Make sure to make it private. Alternatively, you can download this repository as a zip file, and copy paste it into your main project.
Make sure to write all your code in the src.cpp file, since JPorta is setup such that only one file is submittable.
Set your project up with the meson setup build command, after which you can compile your code with meson compile -C build. This will generate an executable located at ./build/out. After initial project setup, you can recompile any time with meson compile -C build or ninja -C build. If you want a clean build, issuing meson setup --wipe build will regenerate the build directory.
If you are using Visual Studio Code, there is an included launch.json and tasks.json to automate the compiling process, usually pressing F5 will work on most setups. You will still need to initially run meson setup build.
To get more familiar with Meson, you can read the manual, or look at some samples.
As the semesters go on, new versions of framework.cpp and framework.h may be released, or the framework may change entirely, and require seperate dependencies. If you notice any discrepancies, please open an issue.
Since the lecturer (most likely) uses MSVC to compile the submitted homeworks, the framework.h file has a hard-coded check for the _HAS_CXX17 flag. As far as I know, this flag is only defined by MSVC, so gcc and clang users couldn't build their projects without either modifying framework.h or manually defining that flag.
This project also chose to manually define the _HAS_CXX17 flag, so that the framework.h file remains unmodified, and as close as possible to the internal framework used to compile the homeworks.
