Installation

It currently supports Linux only.

Tested only on Ubuntu 16.04 + CUDA 9.2 + OpenGL 4.5.

Prerequisites

The following packages are required.

• C++14 compatible compiler
• CUDA 9 or later
• OpenGL 4.5 or later
• CMake
• git

Depencency

spray depends on the following libraries.

• png++
  • You can install it using your distribution's package manager (like apt install libpng++-dev).
  • It depends on libpng v1.2. If you manually install it, you might need to install libpng12-dev also.
• glfw3
  • you can install it using your distribution's package manager (like apt install libglfw3-dev).
• glad
  • will automatically be cloned into extlib/ by CMake.
• imgui
  • will automatically be cloned into extlib/ by CMake.
• thrust
  • will be found /path/to/cuda/include after installing cuda.

Build

To isolate stuff generated by building, I strongly recommend to make a build/ directory and run build script there.

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake .. # -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/path/to/compiler (optional)
$ make
