Compile CGViewer under Windows

(tested on Windows 8 x64)

Ressources

• CGViewer: http://www.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/bsv/homepage/de/teaching/praktikum-computergrafik-2013
• MinGW & Qt: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds (see http://qt-project.org/wiki/MinGW-64-bit for details)
• Glew: http://glew.sourceforge.net/
• glext.h: http://www.opengl.org/registry/

Setup

1. Extract all necessary files
2. Copy glext.h into glew-1.9.0\include\GL
3. Add mingw64\bin, Qt64-4.8.4\bin and glew-1.9.0\bin to PATH
4. Add Qt64-4.8.4\mkspecs\win32-g++-4.6 to QMAKESPEC

Install Qt

1. Fix Qt hardcoded paths: qtbinpatcher.exe --nobackup

Compile Glew

1. gcc -DGLEW_NO_GLU -O2 -Wall -W -Iinclude -DGLEW_BUILD -o src/glew.o -c src/glew.c
2. gcc -shared -Wl,-soname,libglew32.dll -Wl,--out-implib,lib/libglew32.dll.a -o bin/glew32.dll src/glew.o -L/mingw/lib -lglu32 -lopengl32 -lgdi32 -luser32 -lkernel32
3. ar cr lib/libglew32.a src/glew.o

Fix CGViewer

Model.h:

• include <GL/glew.h> and <GL/glext.h>

Raytracer.cpp:

• comment out OpenMP (produces error)

CGViewer.pro:

• LIBS += -lglu32 -llibglew32 -Lglew lib path (forward slashes)
• DEFINES += GL_GLEXT_PROTOTYPES
• INCLUDEPATH += glew include path (forward slashes)

Compile CGViewer

1. qmake
2. mingw32-make debug
   mingw32-make clean
   mingw32-make release
