Compile Mac

These instructions are to compile from your own mac computer:

• Install XCode (the g++ compiler and git are distributed therein)
• Install Command Line Tools for Xcode (google how as it changes according to your OS version)
• Install homebrew: http://brew.sh (package manager to install libraries)
• Install Qt Creator: link IDE for C++ and GLSL Finally we use homebrew to install all dependencies (execute these one by one in terminal):

brew install cmake
brew install eigen
brew install pkgconfig
brew install homebrew/science/opencv

When we start working on OpenGL you will also need these (not necessary for ray tracing):

brew install homebrew/versions/glfw2
brew install glew
brew install pkgconfig
brew install anttweakbar

Downloading the source code from GitHub

open Terminal.app and type:

~: git clone https://github.com/luckysama/icg.git

You can also download a zip archive from the github icg homepage (discouraged).

Opening the project from terminal

~: git clone https://github.com/luckysama/icg.git
~: cd icg 
~/icg: open -a "Qt\ Creator.app" CMakeLists.txt

Important note: the CMakeLists to be opened is the one in the main icg folder and not the one in the raytrace subfolder!

Opening the icg project from within QtCreator

• download the zip or clone the repository as shown above
• open Qt Creator.app
• browse the menu "file -> Open File or Project..."
• select icg/CMakeLists.txt

Alias for QtCreator

I also recommend you to create an alias within your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile (you will need to open a new terminal for changes to take effect); this will allow you to open the project in the terminal as qtcreator CMakeLists.txt:

alias qtcreator="open -a Qt\ Creator.app"
