LearningOpenGL is a small beginner-level project to learn a bit of OpenGL.
The project follows the guidelines of modern OpenGL and demonstrates the complete rendering pipeline, object importing, shading, interactive camera, texturing and more. This is also my playground to experiment with Cmake, vcpkg and unit testing.
- CMake >= 3.20
- vcpkg
- C++ compiler (MSVC, GCC, Clang)
This project uses vcpkg to manage dependencies. If you don't have vcpkg, you can get it by running
git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg.git
./vcpkg/bootstrap-vcpkg
Use CMake to configure the project. For example, from the project root directory do
cmake -B build -S . -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/path/to/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
The CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE settings allows CMake to use libraries provided by vcpkg. If anything is missing, vcpkg will download and build it. When you configure the project for the first time, vcpkg will download OpenGL, GLEW, glfw3, glm, assimp and googletest (and possibly other libraries, too). This step may take a while.
The unit_tests target builds all the unit tests. Build it with
cmake --build . --target unit_tests
or using your preferred method.
The exampleScene target builds the demo app. Build it with
cmake --build . --target exampleScene
or using your preferred method. Enjoy!
