Ongoing development and a permissive license makes Newton Dynamics a top choice for all kinds of projects from scientific projects to game engines.

Compiling Newton

Windows and OSX

Project files for Visual Studio and XCode are provided, mainly

  • Newton Core and packages: [sdk/projects/](sdk/projects/)
  • demo sandbox: [applications/demosSandbox/projects/](applications/demosSandbox/projects/)

Linux

There are Unix makefiles in the project folders mentioned above, but it is highly recommended to use CMake instead.

Newton Core does not have any third party dependencies.

To build the demo sandbox the following packages need to be installed:

  • OpenGL
  • glfw3
  • OpenAL
  • TinyXML

All of these should be available on any major Linux distribution (with associated -dev or -devel packages).

Alternatively they can be found in the folder [sdk/thirdParty/](sdk/thirdParty/) and built from source.
