Installing (Windows)

Option 1: Download prebuilt

Unofficial binaries are available from http://goo.gl/tkNSx9 (Currently 32bit MSVC only).

Option 2 Build from source

If you need the latest version or a different build configuration you may need to build from source.

Requirements:

• Microsoft Visual Studio (Community edition is sufficient)
• Qt 5 from http://www.qt.io/download-open-source/ (You need msvc OpenGL matching your compiler version)
• CMake from http://www.cmake.org/download/
• SDL 2 source package from https://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php
• Pthreads for Windows from https://www.sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/ (ftp://sourceware.org/pub/pthreads-win32/pthreads-w32-2-9-1-release.zip)
• libturbojpeg from http://www.libjpeg-turbo.org/Main/HomePage

Build Steps

• Install Microsoft Visual Studio, ensure that you have MSVC.
• Install Qt5 & CMake.
• Download Vogl and extract it into a directory named "vogl-master"
  • Make sure that the file path does not include spaces.
• Create a directory alongside the vogl-master source directory called external.
• Copy the contents of the SDL 2 source package into 'external' and ensure it is in a directory called 'SDL'.
• Create a subdirectory in 'external' called 'windows'
  • Copy the lib-jpeg-turbo-2.1.3
  • Copy Pre-buit.2 from the pthreads download above into the 'windows' directory and rename it to 'pthreads.2'.
• Start the Qt 5.* for Desktop command prompt and run vcvarsall.bat
• cd to the directory containing the Vogl and externals directories and run:
  • mkdir vogl-master\vogl_build\x64
  • cd vogl-master\vogl_build\x64
  • cmake -DQt5_DIR="C:\Qt\5.3\msvc2013_64_opengl\lib\cmake\Qt5" -G "Visual Studio 12 2013 Win64" ..\..

You should now have a file called 'ALL_BUILD.vcxproj'
You can build from this command-prompt by running:

• msbuild ALL_BUILD.vcxproj /p:configuration=debug
