Scenic.Driver.Glfw

The main Mac and Ubuntu driver for Scenic applications

Might work on other systems too, but I've only tested those two...

See main Scenic documentation for the real installation steps

Installing on MacOS

The easiest way to install on MacOS is to use Homebrew. Just run the following in a terminal:

brew update
brew install glfw3 glew pkg-config

Once these components have been installed, you should be able to build the scenic_driver_glfw driver.

Installing on Ubuntu 18.04

The easiest way to install on Ubuntu is to use apt-get. Just run the following:

apt-get update
apt-get install pkgconf libglfw3 libglfw3-dev libglew2.0 libglew-dev

Once these components have been installed, you should be able to build the scenic_driver_glfw driver.

Installing on Ubuntu 20.04

The easiest way to install on Ubuntu is to use apt-get. Just run the following:

apt-get update
apt-get install pkgconf libglfw3 libglfw3-dev libglew2.1 libglew-dev

Once these components have been installed, you should be able to build the scenic_driver_glfw driver.

Installing on Archlinux

The easiest way to install on Archlinux is to use pacman. Just run the following:

pacman -Syu
sudo pacman -S glfw-x11 glew

If you're using wayland, you'll probably need glfw-wayland instead of glfw-x11 and glew-wayland instead of glew

Installing on Windows

First, make sure to have installed Visual Studio with its "Desktop development with C++" package.

Next, you need to download the Windows binaries for GLFW and GLEW manually.

Locate your Visual Studio installation directory. Two folders will be required for the next steps:

• The Include folder: {Visual Studio Path}\VC\Tools\MSVC\{version number}\include
• The Lib folder: {Visual Studio Path}\VC\Tools\MSVC\{version number}\lib\x64

Open the GLFW package you downloaded. Extract the contents of the packaged include folder to your Visual Studio Include folder. Next to the include folder, you'll also find several lib-vc20xx folders. Select the closest match to your Visual Studio version and extract the contents to your Lib folder.

Lastly, install the GLEW package. Find the packaged include folder and extract its contents to your Include folder as well. You should now have two new folders in your Include folder: GL and GLFW. Now navigate to lib\Release\x64 in the GLEW package. Copy all *.lib files to your Lib folder. Finally, navigate to bin\Release\x64 and copy glew32.dll to your Windows\system32 folder.

Once these components have been installed, you should be able to build the scenic_driver_glfw driver.

General Installation

As this is a hex package, it can be installed by adding scenic_driver_glfw to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:scenic_driver_glfw, "~> 0.10"}
  ]
end
