Seagull

Simple 2D OpenGL engine based in C++

Goal is to be simple and easy to use engine for simple simulations.

How to Build

Before building, make sure to go into seagull/seagull/vendor/glew/auto and run make here first, otherwise you will get an error when building seagull saying that you are missing glew files. You should also comment out line 1137 and 1135 of seagull/seagull/vendor/assimp/code/CMakeLists.txt as a work around for some warnings that can occur when building that will cause the build to stop.

Build on Visual Studio 2019

Before you begin, make sure that you have already downloaded the windows version of cmake and it is on your $PATH. If you try and use the cmake that comes with WSL, you won’t have the option to generate a Visual Studio solution.

cd Build
cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 16 2019"

Open up generated visual studio solution.

Build on WSL2 (Mingw32)

Before you begin, make sure that you have already downloaded the windows version of cmake and it is on your $PATH. If you try and use the cmake that comes with WSL, you won’t have the option to generate a Visual Studio solution.

cd Build
cmake .. -G "MinGW Makefiles"
mingw32-make

Build on Linux

brew install cmake
cd Build
cmake ..
make

Build on MacOS

Ensure xcode build tools are installed already (needed for make, g++, etc). Use homebrew for installing cmake.

mkdir xcode
cd xcode
cmake -G Xcode ..

Open the resulting xcode project file.
