Installation

Installation instructions for MAC OSX (using Xcode) and Windows (using Visual Studio). To build the DSC framework, one needs a compiler which supports c++11 features. Newer versions of the major compilers support the c++11 features used in the DSC framework (including gcc, LLVM, Clang and the newest MSVC compiler). However, note that older versions than Visual Studio 2013 does not support all the used c++11 features. Furthermore, the DEMO application uses OpenGL 3.2 for drawing. Therefore, make sure that your graphics driver supports OpenGL 3.2.

MAC OSX (Xcode)

To build the DSC library:

1. Install Xcode from the App Store.
2. Clone the DSC GitHub repository (recommended) or download a zip file with the repository content.
3. Place the content (and possibly unzip) in some directory (for example /Users/user_name/Documents/DSC/ where 'user_name' is your user name).
4. Open the DSC Xcode project.
5. Select the DSC scheme and build.

To run the DEMO application:

1. Open the DSC Xcode project.
2. Select the DEMO scheme and run.

Windows (Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 or newer)

To build the DSC library:

1. Install Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 or newer (older versions of VS does not support all of the c++11 features used in the DSC framework).
2. Clone the DSC GitHub repository (recommended) or download a zip file with the repository content.
3. Place the content (and possibly unzip) in some directory (for example c:\Users*user_name*\My Documents\DSC\ where user_name is your user name).
4. Open the Visual Studio solution (DSC.visualstudio.sln) located in the DSC.visualstudio folder.
5. Go to Demo Properties > Configuration Properties > Debugging
6. Set 'Configurations' to 'All Configurations'
7. Set 'Working Directory' to the DSC folder which should be $(ProjectDir)\ ..\ ..\ ..\
8. Compile the src project.

To run the DEMO application:

1. Install GLEW as described here.
2. Install GLUT.
3. Open the Visual Studio solution (DSC.visualstudio.sln) located in the DSC.visualstudio folder.
4. Go to Demo Properties > Configuration Properties > Debugging
5. Set 'Configurations' to 'All Configurations'
6. Set 'Working Directory' to the DSC folder which should be $(ProjectDir)\ ..\ ..\ ..\
7. Compile and run the DEMO project.
