Installing

Prerequisites

Good OpenGL support (4.1+ required, 3.3 works but misses deep zooming).

Programs:

• gcc
• make
• bash
• sed

Libraries:

• rt
• gl
• glew
• glfw3
• mpfr

On Debian Jessie, this suffices to install everything you need to compile:

sudo aptitude install \
    build-essential \
    libglew-dev \
    libglfw3-dev \
    libmpfr-dev \
    pkg-config

Building

You can compile it:

make -C src clean
make -C src

You can compile without debugging information (slightly smaller, maybe faster):

make -C src clean
make -C src DEBUG=-s

If you have multiple cores you can speed up compilation by using -jN where N is slightly larger than your core count (eg: make -C src -j3).

If you have problems compiling (usually because dependencies are not available in your distribution and you compiled them from source), try setting the make flag EXTRA_COMPILE_FLAGS to add the correct include directories.

If make fails at LINK time (often occurs with static libglfw3.a), try setting the make flag EXTRA_LINK_FLAGS to add any required libraries, for example:

make -C src EXTRA_LINK_FLAGS="-lglfw3"
