Prerequisites

• These programs were developed and tested on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
• Superuser privilege is required to install GCC and libraries.

Getting started

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libfmt-dev libglfw3-dev libglm-dev
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/wingkeet/opengl-playground.git
cd opengl-playground
make
bin/01-triangle

Install GLFW dependencies

sudo apt-get install cmake pkg-config
sudo apt-get install libxinerama-dev
sudo apt-get install libxcursor-dev
sudo apt-get install libxi-dev
sudo apt-get install doxygen

Compile GLFW from source

Instructions: https://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/compile.html

cd ~/opengl-playground
git clone https://github.com/glfw/glfw.git
cd glfw
cmake -S . -B build
cmake --build build

This produces a static GLFW library at glfw/build/src/libglfw3.a.

Check hardware acceleration

$ sudo apt-get install mesa-utils
$ glxinfo -B
