Project Setup

Dependencies

This project uses the following dependencies as Git submodules inside the vendor folder:

• GLM
• GLFW
• Assimp

Cloning the Repository with Submodules

To clone this repository along with all dependencies, use:

git clone --recurse-submodules <repo-url>

If you have already cloned the repository without submodules, initialize and update them with:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Compiling Assimp

Assimp must be compiled as a static library. Follow the appropriate instructions based on your platform.

🪟 For Windows (MinGW)

1. Navigate to the Assimp directory:

   cd vendor/assimp

2. Run CMake with the following configuration:

   cmake CMakeLists.txt -D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF \
                        -D CMAKE_C_COMPILER="C:/path/to/your/gcc/bin/gcc.exe" \
                        -D CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="C:/path/to/your/gcc/bin/g++.exe" \
                        -G "MinGW Makefiles"

🐧 For Unix/Linux

1. Navigate to the Assimp directory:

   cd vendor/assimp

2. Run CMake using the following configuration:

   cmake CMakeLists.txt -D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF \
                        -D CMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc \
                        -D CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++ \
                        -G "Unix Makefiles"
