Building GL4D on Windows ======================================================================== A) Install the necessary software for building GL4D. 1. CMake (>= 2.6.4) http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html e.g., the installer on Win cmake-2.6.4-win32-x86.exe 2. Microsoft Visual Studio (full or express edition) B) Download libraries GL4D depends on. 1. Download the Win32 GLUT binary. http://www.xmission.com/~nate/glut.html 2. Download the Win32 GLEW binary. http://glew.sourceforge.net/ 3. Unzip the GL4D_Demo zip package to some directory path\to\gl4d and you will find this readme file under path\to\gl4d\readme.txt 4. Putting the GLUT and GLEW libraries and header files according to the following layout: path\to\gl4d/bin/glew32.dll path\to\gl4d/bin/glewinfo.exe path\to\gl4d/bin/glut32.dll path\to\gl4d/bin/visualinfo.exe path\to\gl4d/include/GL/glew.h path\to\gl4d/include/GL/glut.h path\to\gl4d/include/GL/wglew.h path\to\gl4d/lib/glew32.lib path\to\gl4d/lib/glew32s.lib path\to\gl4d/lib/glut32.lib C) Compile GL4D Demo 1. Launch Visual Studio command prompt from Start Menu. 2. Use the following command to build GL4D demo program from demo.c > cd path\to\gl4d\src > cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=.. . > nmake install 3. (Optional) Alternatively one can create a Visual Studio project file using the following CMake commands for Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 respectively. > cmake -G "Visual Studio 8 2005" .. > cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008" .. D) Run GL4D. 1. Change directory to path\to\gl4d\bin 2. Execute gl4d-demo.exe from command line or by double clicking it in Windows Explorer
