Using your class repo

Checkout your repo

• Each person gets their own repo. Replace 'USERNAME' with your Rose username in the URL below.
• USERNAME@abacus.csse.rose-hulman.edu:/Users/faculty/taylormt/Public/git/repos/1718a-csse351-USERNAME
• Get your repo however you like
  I open a console and issue: git clone taylormt@abacus.csse.rose-hulman.edu:/Users/faculty/taylormt/Public/git/repos/1718a-csse351-taylormt

Compile a small program

• Test your build environment by first generating the build scripts for the GLVersion project.
• Get the code from here.
• Open a terminal and go to the project directory.
• Have CMake generate the build files by issuing cmake .
• Mac users can get an XCode project by instead using cmake . -G Xcode
• Windows users should automatically get a Visual Studio project, but there is a similar -G command if needed
• Now, build the program.
• If you're using the make file, just to the directory and type make.
• For Visual Studio, open the VS project and go to Build > Build Solution or press F7.
• For XCode, go to Product > Build or press cmd+B.
• Run the program after it is built. It should output your OpenGL version as a decimal number.
• If you're using the make file, just run the resulting binary.
• For Visual Studio, open the VS project and go to Debug > Run Without Debugging or press ctrl+F5.
• For XCode, switch the build scheme: go to Product > Scheme > ProjectName. Then, go to Project > Run or press cmd+R.
• For example, my Mac reports version 4.1 and my Rose laptop reports 4.5.

Now, head back to the Welcome page and finish up anything that is left.
