OpenGL-Cpp-Boilerplate

This project has been tested on a Linux machine. Below is a list of necessary libraries and tools, along with their installation commands.

---

Prerequisites

Ensure your system has a C++ compiler (like g++)

---

Libraries and Tools

1. GLFW

GLFW is used for creating OpenGL contexts and managing windows and inputs.

Install it using:

sudo apt install libglfw3 libglfw3-dev

2. GLAD

GLAD is an OpenGL loader that manages function pointers for OpenGL. The GLAD library is included in this project, so you don't need to install it separately.

3. OpenGL Development Libraries

These libraries are required to develop and compile OpenGL programs.

Install them using:

sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-dev

4. Build Tools

To compile and link your project, ensure you have build-essential installed:

sudo apt install build-essential

To install all the libraries and tools at once, run the following command:

sudo apt install libglfw3 libglfw3-dev libgl1-mesa-dev build-essential
