![]() Sample Program ExecutionĮverything should be fine by now. Mac needs the -framework directive to guide it to the library files. This is a “tricky” part when setting up Netbeans on Mac OS because the –L option (which is used when adding libraries through the “Additional Library Directories”) simply does not work. Go to “Linker”, click on “Libraries > Add Option > Add other option” and copy the value “-framework SFML -framework sfml-system -framework sfml-window -framework OpenGL”. Right up next we need to guide the linker to the library files, otherwise messages of the type “cannot find the symbols defined” will populate the console. Go to “C++ Compiler” and copy the following “/System/Library/Frameworks/amework/Headers:/Library/Frameworks/amework/Headers” in the “Include Directories” textbox. ![]() On your Project Window on the left, right-click on the project’s name and click “Properties”. We need to make visible SFML and OpenGL to both our source code and the linker before starting any actual work.įirst of all we need to make visible to our code the header files of SFML and OpenGL, in order to be able to use both APIs. The default values for remaining options should be just fine. In the following screen provide a name for your project in the “Project Name:” textbox and click on “Finish”. From the available options select the “C/C++ Application” and click “Next”. Open Netbeans and click on “File > New Project…”. Once everything is in place let’s start setting up the project. Also make sure that Xcode has the command-line tools installed in order to ensure that the g++ compiler is properly installed and configured. If not, please go to the corresponding product’s official site and follow the guides there. The lack of a complete guide alone made it worth blogging about.įirst of all, I assume that NetBeans and SFML are already installed on your machine. ![]() ![]() I couldn’t find any similar guide on the net and I encountered some caveats and intricacies while trying to set it up. The next thing is to work with the new technology metal from Apple which sound really great.Īs ever I provide a link to the famous Ray Wenderlich where a lot of interesting and good explained stuff can be found.Here is a guide on configuring an SFML, OpenGL, C++ project under Netbeans in MacOS X. Points of Interestīy diving into OpenGL I learned a lot of the complicated stuff, which really helps in big graphic outputs with good perfomance.Īpple is providing good documentation for OpenGL for Embedded Systems which thay call OpenGL ES. At most with the measureBlock API is performance testing a piece of cake. Xcode has some fine support for writing software tests, which I like to use. ![]() NSDictionary *dic = RED_FACTOR": sFloat} I also want to point into the complex field of the shaders, that they have different variable types which have big role in the work. To load them into OpenGL they need to get compiled, linked and loaded. There are to separate programs one is called vertex shader which computes the coordinates and the other is the frame shader which results for the color of the pixel. Shaders are small subprograms in OpenGL to manipulate the graphical output. GlTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGBA, width, height, 0, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, colorData) Diving into the shaders GlTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE) GlTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE) GlTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_LINEAR) GlTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR) //disable mipmapping ![]()
