Example tp_maps and wxWidgets Application

This project demonstrates building a simple 3D view using tdp-libs and wxWidgets using CMake or QMake. This project should build on Linux.

Prerequisites

• tdp_tools Installation instructions
• A toolchain for your chosen platform. Installation instructions

Clone Instructions

These steps will clone the repo and all of its dependencies. You will need tdp_tools in your path for this to work.

mkdir maps_wx
cd maps_wx
git clone https://github.com/tdp-libs/example_maps_wx.git
cp example_maps_wx/maps_wx.pro .
cp example_maps_wx/CMakeLists.top CMakeLists.txt
tdpUpdate

Include and Library Paths

Depending on your platform you may need to specify include and library paths. The previous steps should have created a maps_wx/project.inc file, this can be modified to add platform specific include and library paths. If these modifications may be of use to someone else then they can be added to the project.inc file found in maps_wx/example_maps_wx/ directory.

The following command will give the include and libs required on your system.

wx-config --cflags --libs core,base,gl

CMake Build Instructions

From the maps_wx directory created in the steps above perform the following steps.

mkdir ../build-maps_wx-desktop
cd ../build-maps_wx-desktop
cmake ../maps_wx
make -j`nproc`

To run:

example_maps_wx/example_maps_wx

QMake Build Instructions

To build and deploy the application using QtCreator perform the following steps.

1. Open the top level maps_wx.pro file in QtCreator.
2. Select a kit.
3. If appropriate set the number of jobs in Projects->Build->Build Steps->Make add something like -j12.
4. Click the green arrow in the bottom left to build and run.

Modification

This project is designed to be modified to suit your purposes, the following files configure the OpenGL view and load the models.
