OGL (OpenGL Cross-Platform Project Study Case)

This project is a cross-platform OpenGL implementation that supports multiple operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and macOS.

📋 System Requirements

• CMake version 3.15 or higher
• A C++ compiler supporting:
  • MSVC (for Windows).
  • Clang (optional for Linux/macOS).
• OpenGL version 3.3 or higher.
• libx11 (Linux) or XQuartz (macOS).
• (Planned) Native Cocoa Objective-C runtime for macOS.

✨ Features

• Hot Reload support for MSVC compiler
• Optimized Debug Information Format
• Cross-platform: Windows / Linux / macOS
• Auto-configured build and output directories

🛠️ Build Instructions

🪟 Windows (Visual Studio)

1. Generate the Visual Studio project:

   cmake -B build -G "Visual Studio 17 2022"

2. Run the application:

   out/build/x64-debug/OGL/Crossplatform-OpenGLS.exe

🐧 Linux (GCC/Clang)

1. Create a build directory:

   cmake -B build .

2. Navigate into it:

   cd build

3. Run the application:

   ./Crossplatform-OpenGLS

🍎 macOS (Planned)

Support for macOS using Cocoa and XQuartz is planned. The build process will include:

• CMake generation with Xcode:

  cmake -B build -G "Xcode"

• Linking with Cocoa and OpenGL frameworks

• Running via native Objective-C integration

📌 Notes

• Windows build output is placed in build/Debug/ or out/build/x64-debug/OGL/
• Linux build output is placed in build/ by default
• macOS output location and instructions will be added soon
