Build instructions

Currently this is a work in progress. On windows, I build binaries using cmake and MinGW-64-bit (from RubenVB for 64-bit Windows target). On Linux, I build using cmake and the GCC collection. On Mac OS, I build using cmake and the command line developer tools. Most libraries are included as part of the source. You need to make sure you have OpenCL development files (headers) on your system. Also, on a Debian-based Linux distribution, you should install the following dependencies:

sudo apt-get install build-essential gcc g++ make automake autoconf cmake\
  libgl1-mesa-dev ocl-icd-opencl-dev libglfw3-dev libxinerama-dev libxcursor-dev\
  freeglut3-dev libboost-random-dev

Sample steps to build on Linux:

  git clone __ADDRESS_OF_THIS_REPO__
  cd mandelbulb-4d
  mkdir build
  cd build

  cmake ../src
  make -j 4

  cp ../src/hello.cl .

  ./mb4d_gui

Cheers!
