Dependencies

Liam Taylor edited this page Nov 7, 2016 · 1 revision

Project red depends on the following libraries and tools:

  • Premake5, for build generation
  • OpenGL (3.2+), for accelerated graphics
  • GL3W (at least for windows - vs2015 targets), for OpenGL function loading
  • LibPNG for PNG image loading
  • ZLib, by extension of LibPNG
  • SDL2, as the main platform abstraction library

I will not be redistributing any of these libraries with Red, but each should be trivial to install. It is possible that in the future, Red will no longer rely on SDL2, GL3W, LibPNG, or ZLib in any fashion, as these are all relatively mundane to implement independently, but that depends on the amount of time myself or anybody else is able to invest into the project.
