Re: Glitter – Dead-simple boilerplate for OpenGL
#2To help improve my OpenGL/graphics knowledge, I've started going through GPU Gems ( https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/248/10/10/http.developer.nvidia.... ) and building my own examples of the concepts in each chapter. I was very happy to find Glitter recently, as it made the obnoxious hurdle of setting up all the dependencies unnecessary.
Also, setting up Glitter was what led me to finally "getting" what CMake was for and how it fit into a development pipeline.

#3Super cool! How does this compare to the (now mostly defunct) GLUT?

GLUT is a windowing library. GLFW3, SDL, SFML mostly replace everything it does in terms of windowing and input.

Yeah, CMake is a bit of a complicated beast to "learn" so to speak. I spent a fair number of hours pulling my hair out trying to get it working.
This is the result! Hope you find it helpful!

#6This might be easier on the eyes for people as well:
http://polytonic.github.io/Glitter/
Looks a bit prettier than the default GitHub repository page anyway.

Is there a particular reason you choose to explicitly add CXX flags ('-std=c++11') over CMake's compiler feature support? The later is, in principle, more portable and future proof than hardcoding the flags.

This was asked in an issue earlier today. It's a combination of 1) I didn't even know such flags existed! and 2) I had some compatibility issues with older versions of CMake on my test machines.
I'll look into adding it in the future though!

#9Neat, thanks for your work!
Newbie interested in OpenGL here, I followed the instructions but get a segfault, any idea? I pasted my session at http://pastebin.com/hxXauQSQ

Hi, can you open a GitHub issue for this? Would prefer to keep problems centralized to the repository.
