daniilgrbic / minimum-bounding-box

A program which approximates the smallest bounding box (by volume) of a given 3D object

Minimum bounding box approximation

Running the program on Linux

Requirements

GLEW (The OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library)

• run sudo apt-get install libglew-dev

GLFW (Graphics Library Framework)

• run sudo apt-get install libglfw3

If you get a message saying any of these libraries cannot be located, run sudo apt-get update to update your package lists

Running

Navigate to the directory where you have extracted the executable and run it with the path to an .obj file as the only argument, e.g.

• ./Minimum_bounding_box tertahedron.obj

Note that the executable needs to be located in the same folder as the shaders directory, otherwise it won't work.

Building on Linux

Without CMake

In addition to packages above, install g++, libglfw3-dev, and libglm-dev.

Navigate to source root folder and run

• g++ *.cpp -I ./utility/ utility/*.cpp -lGL -lGLEW -lglfw -std=c++17 -O1 -o Minimum_bounding_box

Using CMake

(works on macOS, use brew to install glew and glfw)

Install the cmake package.

Navigate to source root folder and run

• cmake -B ./build

This may produce errors because CMake cache doesn't exist. If this happens, run the command again.

After this, run

• make --directory=build

You should now see a message that the build was successful.
