We need more documentation #3

Closed mro95 closed 9 years ago

mro95 commented 9 years ago

Hi,

First of all I want to say that Glitter is a good idea for beginners, I'm also a beginner in OpenGL and I think it save a lot of time and struggle. Only thing I miss is the documentation, I had to guess where I had to drop my files, and I don't know how to make a executable. So I had to use my own makefile: Make -f Makefile2. Can you explain it to me, so I can write documentation it?

Could you clarify what you mean by "drop my files"? The instructions should be pretty straightforward, copy-pasting into your shell. Did you follow the Getting Started steps? Note that cmake is not make (different binary). If you generate a makefile with cmake, the binary will be at /Build/Glitter/Glitter. Your headers go in /Glitter/Headers/ and your source files go in /Glitter/Sources/.

I started working on a "guide for complete newbies" a while ago, but that's on hold for at least a week, until I straighten things out. I'm all ears though, if you have suggestions for improvements?
