Hard to run examples in Mac #31

Closed hymn4u closed 5 years ago

hymn4u commented 5 years ago

hello lukas, i found LLGL hard to run example on Mac xcode.

  1. use "MACOSX_BUNDLE" to generate examples, but i don't konw how to read .vert .frag in app's contents folder... pretty sad. i just change that to default, then use absolute path to read them.
  2. when i choose metal to render, just can't find file [[NSString alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:filePath encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil] return nil. i guess U have some good ideas to solving them.

Have you set the working directory to the respective example folder? In case of the HelloTriangle project for instance, you need to set the working directory to <Your-LLGL-Repository>/examples/Cpp/HelloTriangle. I only mentioned it in the GettingStarted document on page 13, but the document is outdated (the path is obsolete).

Maybe I find a way to specify the working directories via CMakeLists.txt script some day. Until then, you have to change it in Xcode via Product -> Scheme -> Edit Scheme... -> Options Tab -> Working Directory (I use Xcode 10.1).

Sorry for late. That works on my xcode10.14, thanks~
