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.
